What is a state built on lies? What is inheritance when ties have long been broken?

The play “Succession” is a modern version of the experiment, written in the 17th century by Calderon de la Barca.

Anna Smolar returns to the question of the social contract concluded between parents and children, between the adult world and the younger generation. Presenting the royal family, he asks how to understand today the most perfidious educational experiment depicted in the canon of European literature. And can we see through Calderon's philosophical reflections on free will, illusion, and truth today?

The creators recall the characters of the famous baroque drama, however, shifting the meanings and division of roles. They tell about Basil, King of Poland, who is a progressive ruler here, courageously facing crises. About Klothald, who raised Sigismund. About Rosaur, Estrella and Astolfa, three women who play a significant role in the life of the controversial prince.
