Summary/Abstract: In 1976 Stanisław Hebanowski, a theater director, has staged on the scene of the Wybrzeże Theatre “The Misunderstanding” – a play written in 1943 in occupied France by Albert Camus. This spectacle was significant for Hebanowski, not only because of it`s evaluation, which shows that the weakness of the Camus’ play have been overcome on the scene, what author of the article demonstates. “The Misunderstanding” by Hebanowski is also interesting for philosophical thought because of the votes of re-viewers of spectacle, circulating around the question about timeli-ness of the consideration about the absurdity of life and death of the individual in the 70s in Poland. Joanna Roś analyzes this comments and draws conclusions from them.
