Przekraczając niemożliwe
Beyond Impossible

Summary/Abstract: Kwaśniewska analyzes plays presented during the 22nd Konfrontacje Teatralne [Theatrical Confrontations] in Lublin, which took place from 6 to 15 Oct. 2017. They include Real Magic by Forced Entertainment, Death of the Pole Dancer by Eisa Jocson, three plays by Benjamin Verdonck, Still Life by Agata Maszkiewicz and Vincent Timarche, and Natten by Mårten Spångberg. As proposed by the curators, she places them in the light of fiction’s constructive and political potential, which enables one to think about what is impossible. In the second half of the article, Kwaśniewska writes on the status of the festival. After the end of this year’s edition, the organizers discontinued their collaboration with Marta Keil and Grzegorz Reske, curators who steadily shaped the festival’s singular identity, unique in Poland.
