I will emerge from the forest, straighten my backbone, and it shall become my sword.

The Belarusian state. A system that depresses and deadens. It promotes uniformity, monotony and obedience. Crowds of individuals understand that they want to live differently. To speak differently. To breathe different air. Their stories have become individualized. This story is about discovering and awakening our own resources. The moment a person realizes how vulnerable they are. How traumatized they are. How much his whole world has collapsed. But the world is still standing and has many layers. Variants. Variations. It's not over yet. It doesn't look like it's going to let up yet. But the transformation has already begun...

The dance-theatre event is the result of cooperation between Czech and Belarusian artists. It is based on a dramatic text by a Belarusian playwright. The production is based on the text and on the direct personal experience of Belarusian artists with the suppressed protests and the subsequent liquidation of cultural life in Belarus.
