This text is about teaching evocative autoethnography in higher education. The main part entitled 'On stage' is a record of the presentation at the "Ideatorium" conference devoted to academic teaching. We decided to talk about the project "Autoethnography of Study" which Oskar conducted at the University of Szczecin. Instead of describing, we showed what had happened. Or maybe what seemed to us -- me, the lecturer and Paulina, the student -- what had happened. This is an example of performative autoethnography.
