Minsk 2011: A Reply to Kathy Acker

Synopsis/Company

Welcome to Minsk - the sexiest city in the world! In Belarus people bear the scars of repression all over their body. Gay pride marches are brutally suppressed. Underground nightclubs are routinely raised by special forces. If scars are sexy then Minsk must be the sexiest city in the world. A lament for a city that has lost its way, for a beloved home that has turned ugly, for a people who cannot express themselves. Belarus Free Theatre was founded in 2005 in Europe's last surviving dictatorship. Under impossible conditions the company continue to produce great theatre that is recognised internationally. Performed in Russian with English surtitles. A Co-operation with Nikolai Khalezin
