The tale of the educator innovator, physician, children's defender Janusz Korczakas "King Maciuś Pierwszy). He is not only a king, but also an ordinary child who is still alien to the adult world attitudes and values. After becoming a ruler, Motiejuk faces dilemmas and challenges because it is surrounded by an adult world, which is often injustice, questionable decisions, empty ambitions. In order to be a good king, he knits diplomatic relations, solves economic issues of the kingdom, and manages the way the child understands. Unfortunately, neighboring states use his "immature" point of view and declare him the war that he wanted to. Motiejuk faces domestic political intrigue and other misfortunes.

The performance does not have a predetermined storyline - it varies depending on how the audience will choose. Both children and parents become the directors of the performance.

"Wanted to create an interactive performance where children would feel the power to control the actors and the entire stage. (Oskar Wyganowski)

"Listen, Your Majesty!" It is for me to come back to childhood, to the playground, when you could imagine what you want, to create your own world and make your own decisions. For me, theater was always a playground. It is like a computer game where your decision depends on the next game. This is a young person's journey to the adult country. ” (Kamilė Petruškevičiūtė)

"This piece is dense and multi-headed, the most important thing was to discover a clear axis that is important to the whole creative team. It became friendship, responsibility and diplomacy-topics that are relevant not only to children, Form: It is an invitation to raise, risk, learn, and reflect with children with a desire to be with children, beside them. ” (Edita Rudak)
