The row of arrest wagons gathered together outside of Borisov cemetery where Alexei #Navalny is buried today. Russia is a terrorist state not only on the international arena but towards its own citizens. This is a brutal reminder.

Today our thoughts are with the family of Alexei #Navalny , it’s an unbearable loss for all of Russia and for the future of democracy. Dictators continue to take lives of freedom fighters and the world continues to watch and be “concerned” with no real action. #Russia

Соосновательница Беларуского Свободного Театра Наталья Коляда пришла получить Орден Британской Империи прямо из рук Принцессы Анны и раздать ебейшего стиля, и как видите, Орден Британской Империи она уже получила

I'm proud of the Natalia Kaliada & their work to keep our culture alive & help artists fleeing repression. More than just a troupe, they provide acting classes for Belarusian & Ukrainian refugees & stage productions that use art to share their stories.

Theatre review: King Stakh’s Wild Hunt from Belarus Free Theatre at Barbican Centre britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/king-s…

a theatre stands for Belarusian solidarity with Ukraine, and a white-clad anti-imperialist, at King Stakh’s Wild Hunt. Belarus Free Theatre/Natalia Kaliada perform in exile between Poland and the UK, and their gothic, cinematic, folklore-opera at Barbican Centre until Sun 17 - miss not.

Наташа Natalia Kaliada и Belarus Free Theatre сделали действительно невозможное, поставив оперу по Короткевичу на сцене лондонского Barbican Centre

Одежду жду гастролей в Европе и не только.

Belarus Free Theatre are in a league of their own. The interval of King Stakh's Wild Hunt Barbican Centre was more ravishingly theatrical than a lot of shows manage from start to finish. Belarus Free Theatre we love you and everything you stand for.

Congratulations to Belarus Free Theatre on King Stakh’s Wild Hunt, a potent mix of theatrical disciplines and visual metaphors, featuring an alliance of Belarusian and Ukrainian performers barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2023/…
