Summary/Abstract: Maryla Zielińska focuses on four plays performed during the main stream of the Theater Olympics in Wrocław: The Gospels byPippo Delbono, Wait, Wait, Wait… (for My Father) byJan Fabre, Medeache: On Transgression by Jarosław Fret, and Oh Amour byTheodoros Terzopoulos. The author interprets and presents the differences between the plays. She also notes similarities, e.g. the proximity of the actors to the audience, and references to the Bible or Greek mythology. She also covers the history of the Theater Olympics since 1993, claiming that “in a festival where what counts is the names of the directors, or rather their strategies and creative stances, it is hard to speak of a program theme.”
