Cast Creative Edit

Belarus Free Theatre is a company in exile. Banned from performing in its homeland, its members have resorted to staging their inventive, incendiary productions in secret in Belarus. But the rest of the world has rallied around this revolutionary theatre company; ardent supporters from Tom Stoppard to Kevin Spacey have lent their voices to its cause, and its raw, poignant and unexpectedly humorous works have garnered awards and praise across the globe.

Minsk, 2011 is their urgent broadside on life in Belarus's capital: a place where sexuality is twisted by oppression, and strip clubs, underground raves and gay pride parades pulse beneath the city's surface. A place where silence is enforced by violence, and sex and pleasure seldom coexist. An impassioned, high-energy collage of personal testimony, raw physicality and stirring theatrical provocation, Minsk, 2011 is undaunted protest turned heart-wrenching confessional - a breathtaking, lyrical reminder of the revolutionary power of both art and love.
Ages: Loud music, strobe lighting, full frontal nudity, very strong language, adult themes
