THEATRE, FREEDOM, DIALOGUE: EUROPEAN NETWORKING WITH THEATRES IN UKRAINE AND BELARUS

EDITORIAL As many as 15 years ago, at the turn of the century and the millennium – and in the era of various „endisms“ – as philosophers and numerous scientists warned us of the possible end of ideology, the end of history, and the end of universal narratives – we faced the threat of the end of the art of theatre. It was speculated that film, video and particularly new technologies would obliterate and cancel out the image of an actor articulating dramatic text on a stage, night after night, to an audience hidden in a dark theatre hall. Yet this image has survived, and was in a way revived, and it seems to me that theatre has obtained a new kind of strength, primarily in its discourse that establishes a direct dialogue with our reality. On the other hand, however, in contemporary Europe, in which we daily witness numerous crises, those of a financial as well as of an ethical nature, and in which we try to survive despite all the conflicts and contradictions, the theatre is one of the few spaces which can offer some sort of safe haven. In fact, theatre is a space that allows us both to forget and to remember, it’s a place where differences meet and establish contact, it’s a place open to dialogue and to changing perspectives; what once was a revolutionary space aiming to change the world, today 4

THEATRE, FREEDOM, DIALOGUE: EUROPEAN NETWORKING WITH THEATRES IN UKRAINE AND BELARUS

is a safe haven for artists and audiences hungry for reinterpretation of the same world. The kind of theatre that we in the ETC are interested in is the kind of theatre that is successful in posing important questions about our era and at the same time discussing the topics that obsess our time. Therefore we believe that Ukraine today is a true geographical and theatrical space in which theatre establishes a direct dialogue with our time, testifying to the fact that Europe is changing its discourse and theatrical perspectives en route from Berlin to Kiev. The project â&#x20AC;&#x17E;Theatre, Freedom, Dialogue: European Networking with Theatres in Ukraine and Belarusâ&#x20AC;&#x153; and in particular its showcase of Ukrainian theatre organised by the ETC is an opportunity for people to get together that will doubtlessly make the entire European theatrical space more exciting.

PRESS COMMENTARIES SCHOLARSHIP MEETING LEIPZIG

Leipziger Volkszeitung, 28 October 2015: „Most of them [Ukrainian scholars] barely know each other before, at most hearing one or the other name of the theatre scene. Only now, during their three days meeting in Leipzig, the Ukrainians got to know each other. The basis for a better network at home. Altogether the meeting led to euphoric tones during the closing meeting on Monday“. Süddeutsche Zeitung, 2 November 2015: „The idea that theatre has to be political generally is controversial amongst the Ukrainian theatre makers. Actress and dancer Olga Popova, who assists in Graz, says with low voice: ‚Politics do not touch me. To be creative, I have to be touched.‘ Andrii Palatnyi instead, who has experiences with foreign plays, wishes for a stage in Kiev, that is solely dedicated to political theatre. Political means first and foremost documental. Refugees from Donbass are talking about their fleeing, soldiers talking about death and the cold. Either they do it themselves – keyword ‚Bürgerbühne‘ – or actors renarrate. An important source is facebook, endless chronicle of the present. […] But conscientious recording is leading to the question: where does political theatre end and where does a talk show begin? A good question from Julia Gonchar, 25, who assists at the Staatstheater Karlsruhe.“

BELARUS FREE THEATRE „STAGING A REVOLUTION“ FESTIVAL LONDON, 2 - 14 NOVEMBER 2015

THEATRE, FREEDOM, DIALOGUE: BELARUS FREE THEATRE „STAGING A REVOLUTION“ FESTIVAL

10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS FOR BELARUS FREE THEATRE IN 2015 2015 marks the tenth anniversary of Belarus Free Theatre (BFT ), the radical underground theatre company founded under Europe's last surviving dictatorship and described as „one of the bravest and most inspired underground troupes on the planet“ by The New York Times. BFT has brought audiences some of the world's most provocative theatre – more than 40 new productions performed in over 30 countries across the globe over the past decade. From 2-14 November 2015, Belarus Free Theatre present a two-week festival of performances and discussions in London featuring some of their most acclaimed original productions, reinvigorated classics and the world premiere of a new work, Time of Women. For the first time, Belarus Free Theatre share the dual nature of their existence with UK audiences. BFT cannot publicise their shows in their homeland. Performances are staged in secret underground locations, encouraging audiences to reflect on how the company operate in Belarus where their existence is completely illegal. There are no tickets to collect, no box office to call. Audiences receive a text message 24 hours before the performance to give

them a meeting point. There, they are met by a member of Belarus Free Theatre and asked for a form of identification (in Belarus, audiences members bring passports to performances anticipating the likelihood of arrest). They are then led from the meeting point to the performance. Performances take place in basements, warehouses, private apartments, gyms, car parks, even in forests. Performers and audiences are under the constant watch of the authorities; performances have been raided by the KGB and audience members arrested. In spite of this, BFT is a hot ticket - typically 2,000 people apply for a 50-seat venue. BFT then return to their London home at the Young Vic for the final week of the festival. Following each performance, a curated panel of experts, including artists, campaigners, journalists and activists, digs deeper into the documentary material that inspired each play, with the aim of generating fresh ideas around taking up action. It is an approach drawn directly from BFT’s work in Minsk where the space for free exchange of ideas and open debate is as valuable as the space in which to see independent theatre.

BRUTTO – I'M WITH THE BANNED

I’M WITH THE BANNED

The flagship event of BFT ’s tenth anniversary celebrations was the solidarity concert I’m with the Banned on Sunday 18 October at KoKo in London. BFT brought together a unique line-up of banned bands from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine together with artists who live in political freedom to stand up for artistic freedom of expression and against injustice. Featuring a 10th anniversary logo by renowned Chinese artist dissident Ai Weiwei, the line-up included: David Gilmour, Boombox, Brutto, Kenwyn House, DJ Laurel, DJ Andy Smith, Kim Cattrall, Pussy Riot, Neil Tennant, Jeremy Irons, Viktoria Modesta & Juliet Stevenson.

THEATRE, FREEDOM, DIALOGUE: BELARUS FREE THEATRE „STAGING A REVOLUTION“ FESTIVAL

„Staging a Revolution marks our 10th anniversary and gives us a unique opportunity not just to mount a festival of performances and discussions in our adopted home of London, but to put musicians from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine centre-stage here. Over the last few years, freedoms in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine have been challenged by a corrupt power that has its roots in the Soviet Union. We cannot stay silent and allow this to continue to happen and potentially extend its grasp even further into Europe. The artists performing in our concert, I’m with the Banned have all experienced the pressure of censorship in that geopolitical knot. We need musicians to be free to be outspoken; we need their voices to inspire us to continue to fight for equality, justice, freedom and democracy“. NATALIA KALIADA Co-founder of Belarus Free Theatre

THEATRE, FREEDOM, DIALOGUE: BELARUS FREE THEATRE „STAGING A REVOLUTION“ FESTIVAL

PERFORMANCES STAGING A REVOLUTION FESTIVAL 4.48 PSYCHOSIS MONDAY 2 NOVEMBER

Staging a Revolution kicked off with Sarah Kane’s final play, 4.48 Psychosis, the first production Belarus Free Theatre ever mounted underground in Minsk in 2005. BFT’s commitment to exploding taboos was cemented by the immediate condemnation of Lukashenko’s regime, who denied that themes touched upon in the play – suicide, mental instability, sexual and political violence – could ever exist within Belarus. Conviction in the artist’s duty to tell human truths and illuminate both obvious and hidden taboos within society has been a through-line in every BFT production over the past decade.

PRICE OF MONEY TUESDAY 3 NOVEMBER

Money makes the world go round. Whether you have it or you don’t, its grasp is inescapable as is its power to determine our lives, thoughts and actions. Inspired by Aristophanes' Plutus, the first political satire from ancient Athens, Ben Johnson's work on the emerging ethics of capitalism, and the inspirational text of 93-year-old Stéphane Hessel, which became the manifesto for the Occupy movement, Price of Money (2014) is a scathing attack on inequality and excess.

NEW YORK ‘79 & MINSK, 2011: A REPLY TO KATHY ACKER WEDNESDAY 4 NOVEMBER

The UK premiere of New York ‘79, BFT’s dramatic response to experimental novelist, feminist and punk icon Kathy Acker’s eponymous text about American sexual identity, performed with its partner piece, Minsk, 2011: A Reply to Kathy Acker (2011). Minsk, 2011 is both a love letter to a country that has lost its way and a raw examination of scars of repression in the Belarusian capital where sexual freedoms are oppressed and perverted by the authoritarian regime.

GENERATION JEANS THURSDAY 5 NOVEMBER

Generation Jeans (2006) is an autobiographical duologue about rock music and resistance, written and performed by BFT co-founder Nikolai Khalezin, with music by DJ Laurel. When Belarus was part of the Soviet Union its people were prohibited to wear jeans or listen to rock music. The buying or selling of either one could result in arrest at the hands of the KGB. Detained during a demonstration in 2004, Khalezin offers a candid account of the degradations of incarceration, the blossoming of young love and how denim became a symbol of freedom under the dictatorship. 22

THEATRE, FREEDOM, DIALOGUE: BELARUS FREE THEATRE „STAGING A REVOLUTION“ FESTIVAL

DISCOVER LOVE

FRIDAY 6 NOVEMBER

Discover Love (2008) is a stirringly powerful original drama, researched over nine years, based on the true story of Irina Krasovskaya and her husband Anatoly, a businessman who supported the Belarus opposition movement. One fateful evening in 1999, Anatoly called to say that he would be coming home late. Irina never saw her husband again. His car was later discovered, but his body has never been found; he simply „disappeared“.

ZONE OF SILENCE SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER

Zone of Silence (2008) is a modern Belarusian epic in three independent chapters offering a panoramic view of everyday life under dictatorship and the taboos that are vehemently repressed. In Childhood Legends, the Company share stories from their earliest years, lives lived under the shadow of authoritarianism. Diverse is a vibrant collective portrait of extraordinary Belarusians on the margins of society, from the self-proclaimed Best Dancer in the Universe to an armless guitar-playing former mafia member. The trilogy ends with Numbers, a cascade of grim statistics about life in Belarus.

TRASH CUISINE

SUNDAY 8 NOVEMBER

Belarus Free Theatre serve up food, music, dance and Shakespeare as they share true stories from inmates, executioners, human rights lawyers and families of the executed. Provocative and urgent, Trash Cuisine (2013) pierces the imagination with moments of the darkest humour as it challenges the ongoing existence of capital punishment in the contemporary world. 36 countries retain the death penalty in both law and practice, and Europe remains on the list of continents where capital punishment still exists – in 2015 – because of Belarus.

TIME OF WOMEN MONDAY 9 & TUESDAY 10 NOVEMBER

The world premiere of a play about women on the forefront of a movement for a democratic Belarus, women with an unflinching and unswerving dedication to the truth. One is Irina Khalip, the PEN Pinter prize-winning journalist, arrested in Belarus for her coverage of Lukashenko’s regime and described by Sir Tom Stoppard as, “the writer I wanted to be”. Another is journalist Natalya Radina who was also imprisoned after the presidential elections of 2010. Amnesty International named her a prisoner of conscience and demanded her release, as did the Committee to Protect Journalists. Today she lives in exile in Poland and continues to run the Belarusian independent media portal Charter 97.

KING LEAR WEDNESDAY 11 & THURSDAY 12 NOVEMBER

Shakespeare's great play about speaking the truth was one of the highlights of 2012's Globe to Globe Festival. Drawing on their first-hand experience of tyranny and exile, the Company present a fresh reading of the text drawing parallels between Lear's spiralling court and Belarusian society, whilst also interrogating the universality of power unwisely yielded. A strippedback set and BFT’s characteristically arresting visual style make this a vigorous and thoroughly contemporary Lear.

BEING HAROLD PINTER FRIDAY 13 & SATURDAY 14 NOVEMBER

Being Harold Pinter (2006) incorporates testimonies from Belarusian political prisoners with excerpts from Nobel Prizewinning playwright Harold Pinter's lifetime of writings. First performed in the UK in Leeds in 2007, it has become one of Belarus Free Theatre’s most acclaimed works. Blurring the lines between art and reality, it traces the relationship between power and violence in Pinter’s words, taken from five plays and his Nobel speech, to deliver a poignant contemporary commentary on institutionalised violence, freedom and human dignity. 23

The View from Above. The View from Below.“ is a lamentation play, based on extracts from different writings that are assonant with historical events that took place and are still taking place in Ukraine now. The chorus, prayers and supplications from the tragedy „Oedipus The King“ reflect the position of a suppressed nation, forsaken by God. Despised, these people are searching for their truth and God in this world…What does a person come to earth for…why do terrible things happen…who is to be blamed for human anguish…what is that sin that people have to atone for…these and other questions keep emerging in the mind of a person that strives to break out from his bonds…

This is the first production of the play written by the famous Swedish playwright August Strindberg on Ukrainian stage. The actions take place in Switzerland in the XVIth century during the reign of Erik XIV (whose father Gustav I is considered to be the founder of modern Sweden). King Erik was an extraordinary ruler and some experts claim that he suffered from schizophrenia. He became the first king to be referred to as “Your Grace”. He had a fascinating personality and, because he made many mistakes while ruling Switzerland, he became infamous as an odious monarch. Internecine wars, struggle with the Parliament, forbidden relations and out of wedluck children… Strindberg himself saw Erik as a Swedish Hamlet who first and foremost striving for personal independence; nevertheless, this desire strengthened by the fear of incomprehension and desolation turns into madness that is followed by emptiness.

CREATIVE TEAM Director Andriy Bilous / Scenography Boris Orlov / Plastic Lida Soklakova / Musical decision Alexander Kuriy Running time of the two-act play is 150 minutes.

Ferdinand is the son of President von Walter, while Luise Miller is the daughter of a middle-class musician. The couple falls in love with each other, but the president instead wants to expand his own influence by marrying off his son Ferdinand to Lady Milford, the duke's mistress. Her aims are to reach the highest peak of the fame, wealth and women's happiness. Her beauty, intelligence and cunning cause men to tremble with delight. And the Lady is even ready to destroy the pure and innocent love of a young couple for her own desires. Ferdinand rebels against his father's plan and tries to persuade Luise to elope with him. The president and his secretary Wurm, who is in love with Louise, arrests Luise's parents for no reason. While grieving the murder of her parents, Louise is forced to write a love letter to the Hofmarschall von Kalb. How many more difficulties can these lovers endure? And can that love and virtue remain untouched by a world of lies and corruption from the age of Schiller that still remains relevant? The themes of choice, freedom and honour are imbued in the history of this tragic love.

STALKERS A COMEDY WRITTEN BY PAVLO ARIE / DIRECTED BY STAS JIRKOV

THEATRICAL CO-PRODUCTION BY GOLDEN GATE THEATER AND KIEV ACADEMIC YOUNG THEATRE SATURDAY, 5.12.2015, 15:00 in Kiev Academic “Molodij” Theatre, Chamber Scene CREATIVE TEAM Text Pavlo Arie / Director Stas Jirkov / Setdesign Julia Zaulychna / Music Olesya Stefanik and Igor Antonov / Video Ilya Pelyuk Running time of the two-act play is 135 minutes.

Forgotten, wanted by no one, the fanciful old woman and crazy mother named Prisia lives in an abandoned Chernobyl village with her imbecile son. There was a father at one time, but he disappeared a long time ago, after gathering everything he needed – papers and all their money – and fleeing in an unknown direction... This play is a comedy where myth and reality are equally real, where “radiologic” humor illuminates the truth of our lives, where potatoes are a delicacy, and condensed milk is deemed haute cuisine! „Why do we live at the ‚zone‘ and other people are living there – ‚not at the zone‘?“ „The territory of Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is becoming a metaphor for the whole country during the performance. All of us are at the ‚zone‘, we are dreaming about the EU, NATO and the visa-free regime, the same as Vovchyk dreams about ‚McDonald's‘, but everything remains beyond the horizon... And ‚stalkers‘ are not the crazy informal explorers, climbing by the prohibitive forests, but they are all of us, who are moving from generation to generation vicious circle, unable to tear it up“.

GOGOL POISK

MORITURI TE SALUTANT

GOGOL POISK PECHERSK NEW DRAMA THEATRE

COLLECTIVE COMPOSITION BY ACTORS OF THE THEATRE SATURDAY, 5.12.2015, 18:00 in New Theatre on Pechersk CREATIVE TEAM Artist Borys Orlov, Dmitro Kostyumynsky / Artistic director Olexandr Kryzhanivskyi Running time of the performance is 75 minutes.

In this performance we try to investigate the vast and varied world of the planet called GOGOL. For the work we turned to plots and fragments from Gogol works created in different periods. We generated our fantasies based upon these themes. Like Hoffman in Western literature, Gogol in our culture was a source for the Surrealist tradition – the world filled with fantastic characters that stir humans with imagination. This world is full of hyperphysical spirits and creatures, myths and legends – and now the world of Gogol's characters co-exists with our modern rhythms. There is no single story line in our performance. We combine drama, dance, gesture and song to stir up the imagination of our audience.

MORITURI TE SALUTANT

DIRECTED BY DMYTRO BOGOMAZOV IVAN FRANKO NATIONAL ACADEMIC DRAMA THEATRE SATURDAY, 5.12.2015, 20:00 in Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater, Small Scene CREATIVE TEAM Director, dramatization author Dmytro Bogomazov / Set designer, costume designer, video designer Olexandr Druganov / Music Susanna Karpenko / Choreography Olga Semyoshkina / Sound Victor Vlasyuk / Light designer Anna Vahovska / Video engineer Pavlo Vavrynevych Running time of the performance is 120 minutes with intermission.

„Morituri te Salutant“ is a performance based on the works of Vasil Stefanyk (1871 – 1936), a Ukrainian writer recognized as one of the world’s best novelists. In Stefanyk’s texts, strong drama vividly contrasts with everyday life as he observes ordinary people confronting borderline situations. The play is composed of nine novellas that recount the everyday stories of parents and children, men and women, birth and death, dreams and reality, daily struggle and everlasting hope. In these stories, the tragic and comic are inextricably intertwined. In revisiting Stefanyk’s texts for the second time, the main challenge for director Dmytro Bogomazov was to find a way to tie together disparate stories thematically and stylistically in a single stage performance. His solution was to create a modern folk musical drama as the medium for dramatic events delivered with a certain bluntness.
