A performer is burning books in a dark room full of sand

A lot of people are sitting around the dinner table and some of them are looking at the camera smiling.

We’ve been creating for 17 years and have an impressive list of more than 50 shows!

Many of them have been recognised by world media, critics, cultural and political leaders. Some of them received awards, succeeded to make a change, or foresee the future. As for example, one of the latests shows predicted the war Russia started in Ukraine.

You are welcome to find more about them below. Enjoy!

Territory of Ghosts

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.

There are five performers wearing black suits in a room with three mirrors hanging by the wall. Two of them are sitting on chairs, holding a roll of script and talking to each other. One is sitting in front of one of the mirrors wearing a disposable mask. Two others are standing in front of another mirror and are talking to each other.

The Ugly One

The Ugly One is one of the most celebrated works by contemporary German playwright and dramaturg, Marius von Mayenburg.

A performer with a straw cap is holding several items made out of straw. He is talking with a microphone made out of straw as well.

Time of Women

Time of Women is a play about three women on the forefront of the movement for a democratic Belarus: Irina Khalip, Natalya Radina, and Nasta Palazhanka.

Price of Money

Money makes the world go ‘round. Maybe you have it, maybe you don’t – either way its grasp is as inescapable as is its power to determine our lives, thoughts and actions.
