The article deals with the creative process of creating a so-called walking performance. The analysed case study is the performance Skrót. Krakau Files [Short Cut. The Krakau Files, 2003] produced by Goethe-Institut in Kraków and created by the Swiss theatre director, Stefan Kaegi. The work on the performance is described from two perspectives. The first is internal (creative) – the author co-created the dramaturgy of the project and supervised its proper exploitation. The second is external (critical, exploratory, research-related). It includes references not only to existing theories of walking performance and audio walk but also to ideas such as flâneurism (as seen by Charles Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin), psychogeography, the drift, the writings of Michel de Certeau, Guy Debord and the Situationists.
