Summary/Abstract: The focus of the article is the young generation of the Belarusian experimental drama of the period between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s. Many of these authors represented the movement “BumBam-Litˮ, actively established themselves in poetry (V. Zhybul, Jeti, O. Gapeeva, V. Mort, Z. Vishniou, H. Cihanava), prose (Z. Vishniou, A. Shostak), but their dramaturgical practice has remained in the periphery of the modern literary process: only some of their plays were put on an amateur stage, and the book “Non-nativesˮ, was never published. It is its title that we are using in our article as the nickname of this young generation of Belarusian playwrights.
