In this article, through selected examples of local theatre activity in rural environments in Slovenia, the author describes how and in what way the actors come together to draw material for their vernacular theatre performance. Their own heritage, with which the entire community is familiar, since they grew up and lived with it, thus becomes an inspiration to creators. It is for this reason that people draw on heritage for materialisation through staging. The article shows how, in seeking identity, the materialisation of past events is carried out at different levels of theatre-making. It tries to provide an insight into how performing such an act affects the life of the entire community and how it reflects on a daily basis.
