The drama My Homeland by the Republican Theatre of Belarus Drama tells a heartfelt story of devotion to one’s homeland through the eyes of a humble plumber named Zina. Although Zina does not speak English, he holds onto phrases like “Belarus is beautiful” and “I love Belarus.” His life is simple, and his hobby is straw weaving, yet in this ordinariness he conveys the rustic charm of his hometown.
As a leading force in Belarusian theatre, the Republican Theatre of Belarus Drama has been dedicated to local creation and theatrical experimentation since its founding in 1990. Over 70% of its productions are written by Belarusian authors, and the theatre actively explores pressing social issues and innovative artistic forms, establishing itself as a vital presence in contemporary Belarusian drama.
