Summary/Abstract: Martin Bernátek describes the three-day review of Polish dance and performance called Idiom Festival in Prague: “This is Poland / To Polska właśnie” (6-8.10.2016). Based on several performances from the festival he covers its thematic scope and prevailing aesthetics. The author mainly focuses on the body as a medium for negotiating between cultural norms and tactics for enacting one’s own, non-normative identity. Bernátek stresses that the curators “had the courage to open a discussion with the Czech audiences concerning the creation of stereotypical images of Poland.”
