Summary/Abstract: A review of the play 10 Political Songs directed by Michał Zadara (Centrala and the Museum of Contemporary Art, premiere: 28.11.2013). The script for this play was based on real statements by immigrants working in Warsaw Kebab stands. Although the (impressive) quartet of actors manage to incarnate their roles, Tomaszewska remarks that the theatrical potential has not been used to the full; on the contrary – the stage medium seems to be an obstacle for Zadara. The author also indicates the feebleness of the text, in which there is a failed attempt to contrast the melodeclamation of the songs about the gray realities of the immigrants with fragments of the Polish Constitution.
