The show Polka plays with the ambiguity of the word - polka is a fast dance, polka is a musical form in even meter, Polka is a woman. The creators look at the various shades of femininity and the different life experiences of women - their hopes, dreams, fulfillments and unfulfillments. The plot structure is determined by the axis of a woman's life from birth to death. What is a Polish woman like? What does she do? What does she not do? What hasn't she managed to do? What is she waiting for?"
