For a short while we all lived the life of a citizen from Leskovac, we rode the old, noisy bus that leaked in the rain, on the streets of Leskovac , through its suburbs, through the centre but also on the old, bumpy road full of holes.People enter the bus, at first sight do not notice anything, but in a moment, there is magic, that with an imaginary brush paints on their faces a mask, semi-smiling, semi-confused.They observe, not believing that anything like that could be possible in a bus, but their smile shows they like it.

The performance moves other emotions as well. A women says with tears in her eyes: "We are forgotten here", I wish I could answer her "You are not". To console her I told her: "You see we have not forgotten you..." that could be the only true answer. An old Roma women with a grandchild, that came into the bus like the other passengers, by chance, pushes the girl forward, encouraging her to go through the crowd and see the performance." Has the little girl ever seen a theatre performance? " I ask her. She answered negatively.The most frequent questions of passangers are:" For how many days are we there, will it happen every day?
