The Church still plays a leading role in Poland with regard to political and social issues, while Polish society seems less and less willing to accept its leadership role, seen as an anachronistic imposition. In this article I observe how the clash with religious authority frequently occurs on the stages of Polish theatres, which have always been a privileged place to reflect on the identity of the country. In the face of a conflictual relationship with religious authority, however, I also intend to focus on the persistence of a profound sense of the sacred. This testifies a still vivid dialogue with the romantic tradition, which is expressed in the forms of a ritual theatre that in Poland proved to be still fruitful.
