To perform their provocative and subversive shows, members of the Belarus Free Theatre risk censorship or imprisonment.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Excerpts of performances from shows such as Being Harold Pinter and Minsk 2011 hint at the visceral power of the group, which the Belarusian authorities apparently view as a threat to national security.

Rated: 4/5

Absurdist dramas staged with grace and ingenuity, these "dangerous acts" draw attention in eloquent and very affecting fashion to the plight of Lukashenko's victims.
