Essentially a modern-day parable celebrating life and courage in the face of adversity, 'The Journey of the Kalibani' is structured around a trip made by the Kalibani group of actors from their hometown, Berlin, to Lublin in Eastern Poland. The film crew follows the entire group, from their early morning departure by coach from the Kulturbrauerei cultural center in Prenzlauerberg, along the 15 hour coach ride to Lublin, to their performance of Kantor's 'Dead Class' as guests of a Polish drama therapy group in Lublin, their visit to the nearby German death camp at Majdanek and back to Berlin for one of their most lively shows, 'Multikultitango', once more at the Ramba Zamba Theater within the Kulturbrauerei.
