Summary/Abstract: The text refers to the performance The Hideout (directed by Paweł Passini, neTTheatre, prem.: 20 Sep 2014), whose protagonist is Irena Solska. It uses and transforms certain elements from the rich biography of the actress, which – according to the author – have become „a ritual of memory, not a representation of history” in the performance. It is shown in a flat rented especially for the occasion, referring to the one in which Solska lived during the war, hiding young Jewish women and illegally storing cotton for sale.
