Summary/Abstract: Estera Żeromska introduces Japanese drama and theatre created after the tsunami which struck the T?hoku region on March 11, 2011. The author presents the dilemmas facing the theatre community – the search of ways of supporting the victims of the tragedy, resulting from the theatre's need to function after the natural disaster. She describes two genres of theatre created as a result of the tsunami: the work of direct witnesses and the work of those who know the events of March 11, 2011 only from other people's accounts.
