Through Hands

We create an endless variety of things that pass through our hands. People unite worlds by shaking hands and at the same time break them by fists. Hands are one of the most ancient symbols of the culture of mankind. Parents’ warm hands, master’s hands, hands of a destructor, an iron hand of the power, God’s hand – the list of epithets is never ending. Even in the age of modern technologies we can say with confidence that almost everything created by man is handmade as even the most complicated machines and robots spring up in somebody’s hands. Making complicated 3D models on our computers still requires the use of our hands.

Hand prints are the basis of the concept of the Belarusian students’ pavilion. Young theatre artists from Belarus are going to present their first so-called “prints in theatre art” in the pavilion. They were born in the sacrament between the brainchild and the enigmatic hands of the artist. They are going to show their vision of the modern Belarusian theatre.

Belarusian students’ pavilion welcomes everyone. Friends, colleagues from all over the world, let’s get acquainted and shake hands.
