The Polish professional theatre company 'Teatr troche inny' is comprised of people with learning disabilities and other people threatened with social exclusion. Their performance Without Words consists of three playlets by Samuel Beckett – Act Without Words I, Act Without Words II and Catastrophe. These playlets talk about the right for personal freedom and life among others in a figurative sense. Straightforward and even brutal situations show conditions which are given us by „the others“ in this world. Each playlet ends in victory of the protagonists. They will raise their heads, fight for their dignity and uncover lies and manipulation of their surroundings, even if only a few would expect them to be able to do so.

Inborn wisdom does not fade over time, it only seems that the older we grow the more we forget about it. We need to rediscover the truth and to find humanity in ourselves. That is the essential concept of the original motion and artistic revue 'Fading Rouge'. Theatre Baltazar is the only professional theatre in Hungary which employs people with learning disabilities. Their performance leaves no one in doubt that they are true theatre professionals, whose handicap does not hinder them fully developing their talents.
