In Minsk on February 3, a performance called "Balaganchik" took place on the stage of OK16 art space. It was the final event of the charity action "Great Art with the Hands of Small People“.
“Balaganchik” is an eclectic performance, which absorbed not only traditional theatre art, but also dance, music, fine arts, ...
On the stage of modern art space, all these types of art were combined into one piece by residents of house-boarding schools for children and young people with disabilities and students of educational institutions of closed type. This happened after a year of intensive master classes and workshops under the guidance of professional original genre artists and leading actors of the Gorky National Drama Theater.
The main character - Pierrot, who misses his beloved. The smaller parts of the story are strung to the main thread of the performance, which exactly reflects what the children and teenagers learned during the year.
For example, the art of drawing on sand was very impressive. And it perfectly fit the overal concept of the performance. Young people with special needs were drawing the story of Pierrot and his beloved. It was immediately displayed on the big screen for the audience. The live accompanement of "Nagual" music band was a wonderful setting for this art masterpiece.
The participants of the performance demonstrated both football freestyle and dances, both ballroom and Irish dances, pantomime, and the magic theater of shadows ... One performance came after another.
And in between the director bustled in and out "displeased": "What kind of farce is it?" He could not recognise his creative idea in this "Balaganchik".
The production was directed by the curator of the action, the Leading Master of the stage Alexander Vergunov.
