Performance "Till" by the Terra Incognita Theater Studio (Philadelphia, PA)

The hero of Flemish legends, Till Eulenspiegel, travels, loves, laughs, fights, takes revenge, hates, draws pictures and sings songs. He cannot be defeated, he cannot be executed or imprisoned, because it is impossible to destroy the spirit of freedom and creativity. Neither the king, nor the Inquisition, nor the army, nor the traitors can cope with him. "... and he will go through the whole world, and will never die, because he is the spirit of Flanders!"

Till constantly finds himself in different stories. He defies the king, robs hypocritical saints, raises an uprising, saves his country, manages to die and be resurrected.

Chief director of the youth theater studio Terra Incognita Eduard Zhefarsky.
