“Amateur actors from the local folk theatre ‘Czeladonka’ from Lubenka, near the border between Poland and Belarus. They perform scenes based on old customs and rituals, cultivated by generations. The actors are farmers, who work in the fields during the day, they only have evenings to work on their plays.
One show is often played by a whole family. Sometimes even three generations of actors take part in one performance. Staging takes place outdoors in different parts of the village. The audience follows the actors as they move with their stage. In the end, the actors together with the spectators join a feast.”
