Summary/Abstract: A review of Michał Kmiecik's play Cracovians and Highlanders, based on A Self-Declared Miracle, or: Cracovians and Highlanders and Izkahara, King of Guaxara by Wojciech Bogusławski, at the Polski Theater in Poznań (premiere: 19.12.2015). Dobrowolski concentrates on the references to the present political situation in Poland – mainly concerning society's growing indignation toward the government. The author notes, for example, the similarities between the final scene of the street revolt and the events of 2010 involving the removal of the cross from in front of the presidential palace, and the palm tree on stage he sees as alluding to Joanna Rajkowska's work at de Gaulle Roundabout in Warsaw. Dobrowolski also points out the play's interesting use of music by Mateusz Górny – a precursor in joining electronic and ethnic music.
