Скачать или смотреть Belarus Free Theatre - International Award at The Stage Awards 2021

Belarus Free Theatre - the only theatre in Europe banned by its government on political grounds – was recognised with the International Award 2021 at The Stage Awards.

Since August, Belarus Free Theatre has worked tirelessly to keep the outside world informed of the situation in Belarus, despite frequent attempts to shut down the internet in the country. Belarus Free Theatre have lobbied the UK government to impose sanctions on president Lukashenko and invited arts organisations to light up their buildings in a gesture of solidarity with the people of Belarus. At the same time, they continued to mount productions of their work in courtyards around Minsk, using theatre as a form of resistance.

Belarus Free Theatre has always combined art with activism, but this year, at a pivotal moment in the country’s history, the company blurred the line further, creating and campaigning, keeping the eyes of the world on Belarus.
