Join Belarus Free Theatre’s co-founding Artistic Directors, Natalia Kaliada and Nicolai Khalezin for an in-conversation event chaired by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC.
BFT’s co-founding Artistic Directors, Natalia Kaliada and Nicolai Khalezin will discuss the situation in Belarus, the opposition of a violent dictatorship against the backdrop of rising tension in Eastern Europe, and the importance of creating art under oppression.
Due to the escalating crisis in Ukraine, two of the invited speakers - Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and Alhierd Bacharevic - will not be able to attend the pre-show in-conversation as planned.
