The CCCB talks with journalist and playwright Andrei Kureichik about the repression and political persecution of Aleksandr Lukashenko's regime, while presenting a dramatized reading of his play Voices of New Belarus.
Belarusian playwright Andrei Kureichik wanted to illuminate the complexity and rawness of the political situation in his country through the silenced words of testimonies in the repressive drift of the Lukashenko regime after the 2020 elections. This is the exercise carried out in his documentary theater piece Voices of New Belarus, which illustrates a situation still in force today, which has led to the imprisonment of thousands of people, numerous complaints of human rights violations as well as the exile of a large part of the opposition movement, including Kureichik himself.
The dramatized reading of Voices of New Belarus (translated by in Elisabet Ràfols) is an adaptation by director and playwright Ricard Soler Mallol.
Event will be held in Catalan and English with simultaneous translation from English to Catalan.
