Przestrzenie wspólnoty Komuny Otwock

The Commune Otwock is a group that evolved from an anarchist group to a well-known alternative theatre. The problem of communion is essential both for the alternative culture and the alternative theatre. An individual can realize himself/herself within alternative communities by creating space for a particular lifestyle, which differs from the lifestyle of the majority. In theatre communion with a viewer is achieved by artistic means. The most important postulate of the Otwock group is widening of the space of communion in the local communities and presenting their own views. The author describes the means of expression used by the group and the way the communicational situation is created. The examples of “communicative situations” include rock concerts, a fanzin, an independent radio station, happenings, parades or theatre performances.
