Insulted. Belarus(sia)

In solidarity with the people and theater community of Belarus, the Wilma Theater is presenting a free reading of Belarus writer Andrei Kureichik’s sensational and timely new play, Insulted. Belarus(sia).Insulted. Belarus(sia) tells the story of the first month of the ongoing Belarusian revolution, where the people are protesting after President Alexander Lukashenko – known as Europe’s last dictator – claimed victory in a contested election. Polls showed Lukashenko badly trailing his opponent. The unprecedented national protests have continued despite mass arrests, police brutality, and the torture of protestors.



Insulted. Belarus(sia) features characters inspired by the real life political leaders and protestors, with some dialogue taken verbatim from the public record.
