Belarus Free Theatre: Kitchen Revolution

Enjoy a feast of home-cooked Soviet food and thought-provoking conversations about art, politics and more at this in-conversation event set around a dining table. Audience members are encouraged to join in the debate, moderated by Belarus Free Theatre's Co-Artistic Directors, Nicolai Khalezin and Natalia Kaliada.

In the dark days of the Soviet Union, people gathered in homes to talk, argue and dream about one thing – freedom. These conversations, deemed treasonous if held in public, ultimately led to action which helped overthrow the repressive system. This was nicknamed the 'kitchen revolution'.

Decades later and a world away, Belarus Free Theatre invite you to a new kitchen revolution. An Olivier-Award nominated company, their work unites artists from Ukraine and Belarus, many of them political refugees from war and dictatorship.
