TheaterMania on the return of Belarus Free Theatre


TheaterMania's Zachery Stewart spoke with Natalia Kaliada on Belarus Free Theatre's return to New York with TRASH CUISINE, their first show in English.

"Trash Cuisine has also been informed by the fact that Belarus is the last country in Europe with the death penalty. The show, which was a hit at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, uses various national cuisines in order to explicate local flavors of violence. Kaliada incredulously asks, "If the government shows the people of a particular country that they can kill, why shouldn't I, as a citizen, kill someone if the government says it's OK?"

Day 9: Countdown to Trash Cuisine - Natalia Kaliada explains 'Give a Body Back'

Countdown until Belarus Free Theatre returns to La MaMa. 

Trash Cuisine runs April 25th - May 17th, 2015. Buy Tickets: HERE

Day 9: Belarus Free Theatre Co-Founder Natalia Kaliada explains the Give a Body Back protest campaign.



From Belarus Free Theatre's Website:

Belarus is the last country in Europe that has not yet abandoned the death penalty. Bodies of those executed are not returned to families. Cases of political kidnapping and murder are not investigated, and today there are 14 political prisoners in Belarusian jails, and dozens who are not rehabilitated.

Natalia Kaliada, Nicolai Khalezin, Irinia Bogdanova and Free Belarus Now staged a peaceful protest against the human rights violations in Belarus, shedding light on the hundreds of people who have “disappeared” or been executed.
