Summary/Abstract: A radio project realised by Jan Klata on Independence Day at Radio Kraków entailing a staging of the audio sphere focused on the phenomenon of the voice. The script, which is based on Wit Szostak’s novel Dumanowski, revolves around a sensationally discovered distorted recording of a speech by Marshall Piłsudski, in which he orders the memory of Józafat Dumanowski, a currently unknown figure, to be preserved. The story, which is incorporated into a radio programme featuring invited guests and breaks for news and weather forecasts, is enclosed within a casket form in which fiction collides with reality in such a way that they undermine each other.
