“Every third”: a requiem concert about the tragedy of the Belarusian people was shown in St. Petersburg on September 8 and 9

The concert-requiem created by Belarusians with the symbolic name “Every third” is the most powerful in its anti-war energy, piercing, heartbreaking work. Synergy of high art and hard, heavy historical truth. This is Belarus’ contribution to preserving our common historical memory.

This week, the requiem concert was held with great success in St. Petersburg. In brotherly Russia it is not demonstrated for the first time. But for the survivor of the terrible siege of Leningrad, this is a special event and especially strong impressions.

And there are a number of Russian cities ahead of our artists, where they are eagerly awaited. About an important cultural event that unites peoples, about a severe reminder and warning to all living today - in the report of ONT.

How can we talk about villages whose names are only remembered, the feats of soldiers and genocide, so that we can reach everyone? Through chronicles, photos, documents and facts. Some people just decided to forget about it. Five years ago, the Prosecutor General’s Office opened a criminal case on the genocide of the Belarusian people. About 160 new mass shooting sites have been found. The investigation into the crimes of the Nazi executioners continues.

Anna Seluk, General Producer of the One in Three Concert: We spent several months studying these documents in the selection of those videos and photos that we show to the audience from the screens. Of course, not all photos and videos – some were so scary that even the age limit of 16+ does not allow to be shown on stage, because there were really very creepy shots. Initially, we set ourselves the task of saturating the project with something new and, of course, tried to select those personnel that were least used.”.

So that viewers can look at the story from the right angle – the appearance of the scene is radically changed. It grows with scenery, screens and light. Four trucks with props. In unison with the audience – more than 100 artists.
