The article is devoted to the ban on representing living people in theatre in the 19th century. The phenomenon of copying the physiognomy, behaviour and gestures of living, recognisable people on stage caused a lot of controversy, but it also constantly aroused much interest among spectators. The article presents a number of examples of violations of the principle of “not touching” living people, from the times of Bohomolec to the times of Wyspiański.  The author analyses three main motivations for the ban on portraying real people on stage, ethical, aesthetic and socio-psychological, using legal documents, rules of acting, anecdotes and memories. In the methodological layer she makes reference to, inter alia, the anthropology of the image, caricature and new studies on the history of theatre.
