Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Lemańska covers the Polish Dance Platform held in Bytom 1-4 April 2017. Although this year’s edition had no main theme, the author singles out the productions that thematized the body of the performer. Lemańska takes a closer look at three productions: Witajcie/Welcome by Aurora Lubos, Noish~ by Maria Zimpel, and Karo Tymiński’s solo This Is a Musical. Describing Lubos’ piece, she contends that he creates political choreography, oscillating around the topic of indifference, of Europeans’ disregard for Syrian refugees. In Noish~, Zimpel focuses on the body’s response to various intensifications of noise, and in Tymiński’s solo he sees a choreography that explores various experiences – from pain to elation, concentrating on the video that shows the choreographer having sex with another man.
