An interview with Belarus Free Theatre

Show information

FRINGE FIRST WINNER 2011

If scars are sexy, Minsk must be the sexiest city in the world...

Strip clubs, underground raves and gay pride parades pulse beneath the surface of a city where sexuality is twisted by oppression.

A love letter to a home that exiles those willing to fight for it, Minsk, 2011 celebrates and mourns a land that has lost its way.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience a provocative and heartbreaking show from a revolutionary company.

In Russian with English surtitles.

Produced by Fuel as part of the LIFT 2012 festival.

__________________________________________

Belarus Free Theatre was founded in 2005 under Europe's last surviving dictatorship; the company is one of the most outspoken critics of Belarus’s repressive regime. Many company members have served time in prison, lost their jobs, gone into hiding or been exiled. Despite this, the company continues to develop award-winning work with the support of artists around the world.

'Everything about the Belarus Free Theatre is astonishing.'
Michael Billington
