INSULTED BELARUS Act Two

Today on Lights Up, we present the third of a three part series. 

If you haven't been following the atrocities happening in Belarus over the rigged election of Alexander Lukashenka, known as the last European dictator, then prepare yourself for quite the story. If you are aware of what is happening in Belarus, then prepare yourself for a story that is part documentary, part creative license, but fully rooted in a live and still developing narrative.

INSULTED BELARUS by Andrei Kureichik has been translated into English by John Freedman. Together the two of them have been disseminating this play across the world. 190 events involving a reading of the play to date, over 25 translations in 23 different countries, with 43 having happened already in the United States. This play is part of a revolution in a country where democracy doesn't really exist. In a country where artists have been forced from the counties, where opposition candidates are thrown in jail as enemies of the state preventing them the opportunity to run for President. In a country where riot police, from another country, enforce the laws of a man who refuses to give up control.
