| Summary: | Sławomir Sidorowicz presents the phenomenon of the work of Piktogram theatre group as its coordinator and at the same time a cultural, educational and sporting officer at the Sztum Penitentiary. The beginning of theatrical activities at the Sztum prison is closely bound to the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the National and International Review of Prison Art, organised by the local penitentiary unit. The festival becomes an instrument for creating an artistic environment. While giving an account of Piktogram’s history and specific character of its activity, he demonstrates the challenges and tasks related to the difficult job of coordinator of theatre work in prison, who has to be stage manager, producer, supplies officer, agent etc. simultaneously. The paper cites Florian Staniawski’s and his actors’ statements, comments and observations. The text ends with a review of the Piktogram group’s activities outside the prison. Sidorowicz emphasizes the value of and need (necessity) for integration of the prisoners’ environment with people who are not in prison. Theatre creates such opportunities. |
