WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Directed by Vladimir Shcherban and conceived by Shcherban, Natalia Koliada, and Nikolai Khalezin, Zone of Silence consists of three independent chapters reflecting on various taboos which are not open for wide discussion in Belarusian society. In the first chapter, "Childhood Legends," actors tell their own stories from their childhood; in the second chapter, "Diverse," actors relay stories collected by extraordinary Belarusians who experience the pressures of unmotivated social aggression; the third and final chapter, "Numbers," explores the dry numbers of Belarusian statistics.
Runs in repertory with Being Harold Pinter and Discover Love. Click here for a complete schedule.
