Synopsis:

In cut off from the world forbidding mountains valley north wind blows constantly, almost year-round bringing snow and cold. The cold and the limited resources of the few inhabitants of the valley gathered in a close community, where the survival of all depends on the survival of everyone. In the valley gets a Scientist, a modern magician. Struck difficult living conditions in the valley, Scientist decided to help the courageous, hardworking and kind people. Blowing rock, scientist has filled the gorge through which the north wind burst into the valley. Valley thawed from the eternal snows. Life became easy and hearty. Mutual aid and assistance to the neighbor became unnecessary, and people changed - everyone was for himself. Accusing Scientist the causes of own fall, residents of the valley have decided to kill him. Scientist, running out of the valley, finds out that the earthquake threatens to destroy the dam, covering the valley from the north wind. Scientist decides to stay to warn residents of the danger and help them fix it. They can do it only together.

Apart from very popular and world touring productions, many performing arts events are largely forgotten about in a matter of months. Traces may remain in various collections, but few collecting agencies, such as libraries, catalogue each flyer or program individually. Hence, unless one knows that an event took place at a certain time in a certain place, tracking down such an event as part of a research project is often a matter of chance. Where research needs to be carried out on high profile and well-documented productions only, this is not a problem. However, both the historian and the analyst will attest that the cultural, political, or sociological context in which a performing arts event takes place is also of major importance, as are the other events that took place in close proximity, either in place or time. A good overview of such productions provides us with a 'social document' that can greatly enhance cultural studies in ways that extend far beyond the narrow confines of theatre history. For instance, data such as this can be used to monitor the health of communities, particularly when used in association with data obtained from other social science disciplines. When one researches a particular playwright one might want to know about all the productions of plays by that author; if one wants to investigate what choices a particular audience had over a period of history and compare this to, say, an ethnic breakdown of the population, one would need to know broadly all the events that took place during that time. If one wanted to do a statistical analysis on the shift in popularity of a genre over one or more generations, it is important to have knowledge of most of the relevant major and minor performance events that took place. In this context, issues of aesthetic quality and the professionalism of a production - which will of course have an impact on such studies - are not the determining factors when deciding to include or exclude events, since all events are the raw material for such research.
