Summary/Abstract: Inwokacja (Invocation) is the third spectacle staged at the NN Theatre (1992), discussed against the backdrop of earlier productions created and directed by Tomasz Pietrasiewicz. The author of the article indicated the essential part played by the textual stratum of the spectacle, but also considered and interpreted its visual side and auditory dimension connected with the presence of a “choir” and music (psalms by Jan Gomułka and religious songs by Wacław z Szamotuł, all performed on stage). The sketch formulates a thesis about the crystallization in Inwokacja of an “intimate poetic”, so characteristic for the Pietrasiewicz theatre (and based on operating with “poor” measures), which produces an “intimate melopoeia” and not only steers the visual imagination of the spectator but also focuses his hearing on emotional “vibrations” that create values.
