How to become a tenement house owner? Where’s a good place to look for flip-worthy properties? Who to trust when renting? Is it possible to get 4 million zlotys from a public institution for 2 square meters? When to buy low and sell high? What's better: to have or to be? How did the political transformation in Kielce unfold in the 1990s? Who profited from it? Who lost? Where did the tenement houses come from?

The play The Kielce Protest: Who owns Kielce? is a type of performative documentary installation – about the dreamed housing revolution in Kielce and the people who benefited from it, as well as those who are still losing out. But above all, it's an attempt to ask the question: can one protest against this all?

Stefan Zeromski Theatre in Kielce, along with the creators of the performance, would like to thank the management and staff of the Museum of the Kielce Village for the opportunity to visit the heritage museum in Tokarnia.

They also extend their thanks to all the individuals who came to meetings, engaged in conversations, provided media support, shared information, archives, experiences, insights, criticism and contact through the email addresses protestkielecki@teatrzeromskiego.pl and idziemypowas@teatrzeromskiego.pl – without your patience, knowledge, and information, this performance could not have been created.
