The premiere of the show “Children’scrusade” directed by Yura Divakov, based on the play of the contemporary Belarusian playwright Andrei Ivanov will take place on March 19 at 19:30 in the space of the cultural incubator OK16 (Oktyabrskaya, 16). You may also see the new theatre project of the visual & performing arts center “ART Corporation” on April 9 and 10 at 19:30.
In the hardest times humanity desperately needs faith. Hunger and poorness reign in the medieval French village of Mere. The interweaving of human vices confronts with the purity and naivety of childhood, a series of random encounters and revelations leads to irreversible consequences and now kids become weapons in the hands of Divine Providence.
The real medieval story about children’s crusade in this performance turns into thinking about person’s growing up, where the first independent choice is a decision to leave into the unknown. The crusade becomes a symbol of the existence of all mankind that are stepping into adult life, and dying in the name of ideas and beliefs. Fighting, falling… and so on ad infinitum.
