For years, a young architect, Michał, has been trying to curry favour with his right-wing boss by pretending to be someone he's not. He deceives him by ostentatiously showing his faith, political views, and the fact that he has a fiancée - when in fact he is gay. His elaborate scheming is driven by the ultimate goal of succeeding his boss or, in other words, having the company passed onto him from his childless superior. During a formal dinner, Michał introduces his sister, Eliza, as his fiancée, and feigns delight while listening to his boss's plans for a new project – a series of bombastic triumphal arches designed to commemorate Polish martyrdom. Suddenly, Michał's boyfriend, an avid weed smoker, shows up, and for some reason is dressed as a priest (an attire that curiously garners admiration from the boss's sanctimoniously religious wife).
The appearance of the mother of the main character marks a turning point. Beata, a free-thinking individual, expresses disapproval of her son’s deceptive tactics. She criticises him for engaging in the elaborate charade to take over a successful company. Through Beata's actions, the audience becomes aware of a hidden family secret that has might alter the course of everything.....
Subtle allusions to Stanisław Wyspiański’s “The Wedding”, infused with a comedic twist, encourage us, modern audiences, to actively shape reality instead of fixating on empty declarations... There is no shortage of clear references in the play to the current politics in Poland, delving into issues such as LGBT, abortion, Catholicism, the position of women in society. The author skilfully illustrates that all values can be sold for the right price, emphasising how power thrives on the stagnation and compromise of the citizens. This "made in Poland" farce is both amusing and terrifying.
