Summary/Abstract: The article takes as its main subject the Italian director Pippo Delbono, whose performance Orchidee was presented during this year's edition of the Malta Festival in Poznań. Focusing on the performance, the author characterises the director's stage style and emphasises his praticular interest in the actor's body and training (inspired, among others, by Odin Teatret and Ryszard Cieślak's workshops). Woźniak points out that the participation of disabled actors in Delbono's works aims at building a new quality of expression, unavailable to professional actors.
