The play Smoke represents an active observation of the survival process. “Smoke” is a metaphor of a human being from a short poem by Brecht.

The Family transfers the energy of the commune to the stage achieving the holy trinity of authenthicity through the simplicity, courage and sincerity.

The basic principles of the commune’s living culture are: the Earth, the Openness of Home, Poverty and Arts. Thanks to their new Philosophy of Existence, about twenty five thousand people visited the Family thus far. The Clear Brooks Family’s home is at the foothill of the Rudnik Mountain. By cherishing hope and optimism, The Clear Brooks Family became a pioneer of our civilisation by expressing its care, attention for the Planet and for an Individual.
So far the members of the Family staged the following performances: The Silent Mud, The Earth-cunt-dick-earth, Smoke, The Word, The Energy of the Woods, The Three Minute Revolution, A Theatre about a Theatre, Instincts ...
