Description:
The story of two bakers who disappeared for completely unknown reasons. And yet they had an employment contract — so what could have gone wrong? This is a musical tale about work in the form of a theatrical mockumentary. The concert version of “Songs...”, in which actors create a live soundtrack to a story of artisanal exploitation, allows us to enter a bakery whose window shows brave, hard-working labourers. A dark fable about employers and workers — a reflection on work that provides a fleeting sense of usefulness and just as quickly robs dignity. A fashionable bakery, where long queues form for bread costing 30 PLN, turns out to be a place not immune to capitalist mechanisms. But should it surprise us that a glowing neon sign with a nice name does not guarantee compliance with labour law? Or perhaps socially conscious owners have blurred the real picture of sleepless physical labour? And above all — how can rebellion function in a place that smells of bread?
