Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the growing process of mediatization of contemporary theater. Analyzing the dozen of chosen performances of contemporary directors (Jay Scheib, Lukas Bangerter, Krzysztof Warlikowski, Krystian Lupa, Wojciech Ziemilski) indicates the specific use of media tools in shaping the events on stage. Characters of the contemporary theater are often created in style of celebrities of pop culture, politics, advertising. The analyzed trends allow to point out the emerging new paradigm of theatrical performances, strongly absorbing current ways of mediatization of reality. The author analyzes the performances in which can we observe transferring the traditionally elements of theatre in the new areas of technological mediatization, manipulation of perception, cognitive convergence and affects. The author also proposes an attempt to codify one of the trends in contemporary theater, in which the main role is played by opening new space of culture, which is a collective experience of Augmented Reality.
