Summary/Abstract: The matter under consideration is the shaping and the creation of the dramatic structure in Ewa Madeyska’s Pętla [Loop], a play by the finalist of the Gdyńska Nagroda Dramaturgiczna (Gdynia Drama Prize – 2013 edition). The play’s nature is determined by the unique placement inbetween, somewhere along the sacrum-profane continuum. Furthermore, the drama in question is an interesting example of a dramaturgical parabole referring to the biblical symbolism of the road and the stone. These considerations draw from Mircea Eliade’s remarks contained in the work Sacrum and the profane. The essence of the religious sphere (Le Sacr´e et le Profane), as well as the essay on the Hermetic hermeneutics. About the weakness of God and the theology of the event (Spectral Hermeneutics) by John D. Caputo.
