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!

Do Not Give Up

Over the past fifteen years BFT has continually exploded obvious and hidden societal taboos on the world stage.

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.

Several performers are in suits and dresses, holding up one performer who has his arms spread out. The ones holding him up is holding pieces of white paper either on their hands or their mouths.

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.

One performer is standing in front of another performer. The one in front is wearing a black dress and a necklace. The one in the back is wearing a yellow long jacket with their arms spread out. They are holding a bundle of feather in the left hand and something round on the right.

Red Forest

Red Forest is a modern epic that explores the impact of war and environmental crisis on some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
