THE BUDETLYANE

In Perm, there is a Workshop where children with mental disabilities (autism, Asperger's syndrome) work. It is called "Bydetlyane." After visiting a theater, the participants of the Workshop wanted to stage a play on their own. However, some of them have difficulty speaking, and almost none of them can memorize even a short text due to their mental disabilities. Despite these challenges, under the guidance of the Workshop's founder, Katya, and using folklore practices, the children have successfully achieved their goals.
