Summary/Abstract: Maryla Zielińska reviews Wojtek Ziemilski's preformance Jeden Gest (Międzynarodowe Centrum Kultury Nowy Teatr w Warszawie, prem.: 24 Sep 2016). The author presents the main subject of the performance – the question of the relationship between the worlds of the deaf and the hearing. Thanks to a vivid description, the reader learns about the course of the performance – the appearance of the scenes and the language used by the characters. Referring to one of the scenes in which the characters present body language according to a sign language manual, the author claims that the sequences of manual signs are similar to the illustrations in Wojciech Bogusławski's Mimika, and the expression is similar to Japanese comics and films.
