Summary/Abstract: Monika Wąsik presents this year’s edition of the Szwalnia.DOK Festival (Łódź, 5.11–11.12.2016). The author describes several of the plays performed during the festival, explaining the nature and specifics of the project, which, she believes, cannot be strictly categorized. She points out that Szwalnia.DOK is meant to be a platform for presenting documentary theater in its broadest definition. She also notes that the actions performed during the festival bring about micro-communities, united through experiencing and feeling someone’s fate. The Szwalnia.DOK festival calls this “missionary theater,” which is focused on specific work with a given viewer.
