Summary/Abstract: The author addresses the issue of immigration from a perspective based on the assumption that a person changing – for various reasons – the place of residence plays a certain role. In turn a “native” meeting a “stranger” has a different role to play. Pitrus focuses on works at the crossroads of different art forms – they are always works combining elements of cinema and theatre or – more broadly – performative arts. Artists talking about various kinds of“migration of peoples” use such a hybrid form to induce the viewer to enter the role of a stranger or the one who meets him. Andrzej Pitrus writes about the works of Ariane Mnouchkine, Romeo Castellucci and Pippo Delbono, among others.
