Summary/Abstract: Piotr Dobrowolski writes about the performance Żony stanu, dziwki rewolucji, a może i uczone białogłowy, based on a text by Jolanta Janiczak and directed by Wiktor Rubin (prem: 29 Oct 2016). The author notes that the performance rebels against both the present socio-political situation and the conventions of political theatre, unable to bring about real changes. Dobrowolski analyses the performance, based on the biography of Théroigne de Méricourt, a participant of the French Revolution, within the context of the present debate on women's rights in Poland. He notes that the show, which uses various strategies and stimulates the audience, refers to the tradition of the avant-garde.
