Summary/Abstract: A review of the play Everybody Gets What He Believes in, directed by Wiktor Rubin (Powszechny Theater in Warsaw, premiere: 12.03.2016). Czaplicki's text focuses on the socio-political dimension of the performance – the presence of the round table where, through voting, the audience responds to a wide variety of questions. The author points out that the common denominator of the plots and strategies used in the play is the theme of being trapped by the necessity of choosing. He also stresses the performance's criticism of the concept of citizenship based on consumption, mainly in the urban guerilla interventions inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, the novel that served as the main inspiration for the play.
