★ ★ ★ ★ "This is what makes the show remarkable. It is a cry of protest yet, at the same time, is imbued with belief in the possibility of a better future."
The Guardian
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 radical company.
In Russian with English subtitles.
