It was aimed at searching for extremely individual, specific behaviors, which had the content removed. The second project, Świętoszek by Moliera, dealt with the problem of the relationship between the classical text and the physicality of stage behavior. The third project in a row was the performance East of the West and West of the East, played at a power plant in Stockholm in 1995. and shown as a guest artist at the Dramatyczny Theater in Warsaw.
