Summary/Abstract: The participants in this inquiry comment on Oliver Frljić’s The Curse, seeing it both as a theatrical production and a socio-political event. Most of them make reference to the performance’s critique of the Catholic Church, indicating the tension between reality and fiction in the play’s structure, analyzing the status of the actors, and investigating how Wyspiański’s text has been used. The participants also mention the play’s media reception, raising the subject of provocation, its role and the risks it brings, and discuss Frljić’s production in the context of current debates on freedom of artistic expression in Poland.
