The Belarus free theatre : performing resistance and democracy
Elphick, Kathleen

Date: 2014
Abstract: This article examines the struggle between the dictatorship of the Lukashenko government and the Belarus Free Theatre over performance space in Minsk. As a performance of power, the state restricts the ability of the Free Theatre to perform in Minsk, forcing them to stage their theatre underground. The Belarus Free Theatre counters this censorship by enacting a form of 'performative resistance' that redefines modes of political participation and facilitates the creation of democratic spaces through the event of their performances.
