Summary/Abstract: A review of the play "Death Sits on the Pear Tree and Looks at Me", directed by Kuba Falkowski (Stefan Jaracz Theater in Łódź, premiere: 16.04.2016). The author stresses the collective nature of the presentation – the actors, present on stage the whole time, form a community, and the director standing among them plays the role of a shaman releasing his energy. The reviewer stresses the skillful weaving of political issues into the play. In his opinion, the avoidance of radically journalistic overtones and the creative use of a worker’s theater aesthetic make the performance an interesting discussion on humanitarianism and freedom.
