EFFECTS OF THE REALITY. THEATRE AND THE POLITICAL
In this paper, author tries to analyze functioning of the reality as performative structure. Assuming that the political is inscribed into the reality, author elaborates two parallel phenomena: actions of civil disobedience which employ performance as deliberate form of their (self)presentation, and plays that inscribe (political) reality into its own content.

VIRTUOUS REVOLUTIONARINESS OF THE THEATRE
Paraphrasing the Virno's title »Virtuosity and Revolution«, I will also employ his analytical tools in my presentation. By applying his restructuring of transcendental ideological field (theoria, poiesis, praxis) to the problem of artistic articulation, I will try to elaborate the consequences of such an approach, most notably considering theatre's main structural feature: being an instance of poiesis that opens up a potential for new artistic, as well as political subjectivity. This particular order is by no means accidental since it relies on Rancière's concept of aesthetics' ontogenetic primacy over politics.

THEATRE ‒ EVERY POVERTY'S COLLABORATOR
Money and power have always been theatre's open wounds. On the other side, it is they, where it has always been drawing its strength from, as well as its weaknesses, depending on the particular author. Theatre has always been misused, to a great extent for political purposes, and its existence has been determined directly by politics. But, that kind of relations is inevitable, even desirable. If it wasn't like that, there wouldn't have been such figures as Stanislavski, Piscator, Kraus, Toler, Čapek, Sartre, Shakespeare

THE TRUTH IS ON-STAGE
There's no doubt that perfomance can be a possible strategy of collective reflection, dislocation, and reconfiguration of oneself and surrounding community. But what kind of phenomenon disables the »performative« efficacy? Psychoanalysis can help the ideological criticism with its capacity to interpret paradoxal jouissance as an exploited servant's salary for serving his Master.
