Summary/Abstract: In her account of the 4th New Theatre Festival – 56th Rzeszów Theatre Congress, which took place from 17 to 26 Nov. 2017, Justyna Wota analyzes two plays: “Bzik. Ostatnia minuta” [Kink: The Last Minute] by Ewelina Marciniak and “The Secret Life of the Friedmans” by Marcin Wierzchowski. Wota depicts the authors’ views which were integral to the play, examines the meanings of specific scenes, and highlights the role of the audience in constructing the world of the stage. She notes the attempt at defining the concept of a “new theatre”, an attempt that was devised in the course of debates and was also take up by the organizers in the previous edition of the festival.
