Territory of Ghosts

A medium shot of a performer wearing a white dress and a sheer white veil over the head.

30th December 2015

Territory of Ghosts takes the audience on an eye-opening journey to the remotest recesses of Belarus, both in time and in place, to uncover stories long hidden and largely forgotten.

Drawn from documentary material researched and collated by BFT’s permanent ensemble these “ghosts” are brought vividly back to life in this revelatory and unforgettable performance.

“The performance causes both horror and laughter, as Belarusian legends are intertwined with the personal mystical experiences of the actors. But especially touching are the stories of witnesses – simple, clever, worthy and in their own way unusual – from people in the Belarusian hinterland”
