Summary/Abstract: Marcelina Obarska reviews two plays by Anna Karasińska: Fantasy(TR Warsaw, premiere: 9.04.2017) and All Invented(National Stary Theater in Krakow, premiere: 23.06.2017). Obarska shows that in the heart of both plays is the issue of “imagination, illusion, and imitation in theater.” Recalling Karasińska’s theater debut – Ewelina’s Crying (2015) – she demonstrates that the director consistently builds and develops her theater strategy and aesthetic. According to Obarska, the key attributes of Karasińska’s theater are: the oddity, marvel, and potential of the imagination, and the focus on the moment of creation, which becomes the main theme of the performance.
