Poisoned with Dust

Directed by Tamar Bartaia

At a glance, the main characters of the film are usual peasants: they hoe and dig the ground; they are busy with animal husbandry and grow crops. But the feature which makes them different from other villagers is their great love to theatre. In winter and summer, in snow and rain, every day they gather in a damaged building, have rehearsals and stage some new performances. The stage is the main driving force in their life, as long ago they’ve been poisoned with the dust of theatre.
