Summary/Abstract: Piotr Dobrowolski's article covers a book published in 2015 by the Malta Foundation and Ha!Art Corporation: Like Nothing Ever Happened: Forced Entertainment Theater. The author begins by covering the work of groups who experimented to go beyond the well-worn paths. Then Dobrowolski describes the composition of the volume, composed of a foreword and essays by Tim Etchells, two interviews with the artist, photographs from the play, two theoretical articles by Hans-Thies Lehmann, a selection of placards from the Vacuum Days series, and representative texts from the performances. Summing up, he does claim, however, that this valuable book has appeared in Poland somewhat too late.
