PROJECT
Recipients: people of the Baiano area

“… the theater is alive! Fortunately, we still have a place to return, to find answers to our questions, says Lubomír Martin Bukový. A place where we can find our breath, and regenerate. We need to interface the inner and outer world;
find the connection between them and establish a balance; have the time to give meaning to our life. Today we are going through many crises again. In front of every struggle we are again blind, deaf, and paralyzed. We seem to be forgetting everything. We seem to be forgetting our experience. And we are ready to make the same mistakes. Or maybe not… maybe we can mount our ahimsa and with hope pass through the difficulties without losing our humanity”.
