“Free Theatre” marks Theatre Day by remaking “New York’79”
Euroradio offers you an exclusive video of the Free Theatre’s first performance in Minsk after their return to Belarus.
"Who has never been here before?" —producer of “New York’79” Uladzimir Shcherban asked before the performance. A third of the present raised their hands. “Oh well, and we thought it would be a small performance for friends”, - smiled the producer.
The Free Theatre returned to Minsk viewers on March 27, 2011 - on the World Theatre Day which was quite symbolic. Actors presented a remake of the performance “New York’79” by a novel of Kathy Acker, American writer. Its premiere was on June 4, 2010.
Here is a video made in the auditorium. It shows the first few minutes at the beginning of the performance – the first time the actors appeared on stage in Minsk after their long American tour. Warning: the performance contains a lot of bad language. “New York’79” is a performance for adults!
