Belarus Free Theatre is an underground theatre group that began on March 2005, during the second term (20012006) of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, as an artistic means of resisting Belarusian government pressure and censorship. International Contest on Contemporary Drama was founded by playwrights Nikolai Khalezin and his wife, the theatre producer Natalia Koliada, human rights activists. In May 2005 the team was joined by stage director Vladimir Scherban, who has produced the majority of Free Theatre performances. Currently the theatres staff consists of ten professional actors, one professional dramatist, four managers and two technical assistants. Under the current political system Belarus Free Theatre has no official registration, no premises, nor any other facilities. Rehearsals and performances (always free of charge for the public) are normally held secretly in small private apartments, which, due to security and the risk of persecution, must constantly be changed. On several occasions, performances were given in street cafes and in the countryside, in the woods. Staffs members have been repeatedly harassed by the authorities for their participation in the Belarus Free Theatre activities and the stage director together with other people were sacked from their jobs at state-run theatres. - Wikipedia
