The city of white cards is a political fiction in Orwellian style. Saramago shows how democracy in a fluid and almost imperceptible way can transform into totalitarianism. The Saramago world is a model of real democracy, in which the citizen becomes a machine for fulfilling the electoral obligation - deleting the surnames on the voting card once every few years. Democracy is gradually ceasing to be a guarantor of civic freedom, control over the government or even the right to actually take free elections. Rucińska presents a current performance, which studies the oppressiveness of power and the darkest sides of human nature, as well as a penetrating view of the social nature of man and his ability to change constantly.

The show is also a collaboration between young director and one of the world's greatest contemporary artists and art theoreticians, Daniel Buren.
