Theatre “Kryly Halopa” from Brest supports Ukrainian theatre “GaRmYdEr” and makes a stand against political pressure on artists !
Theater “GaRmYdEr” from Lutsk asks for support!
Theatre works and performs in Lutsk district House of Culture. Today the theatre is asked to clean the room in which they have been rehearsing for almost 10 years.
On December 1, 2013 Theatre ” GaRmYdEr ” showed his documentary play “Au! Said the millions!” The performance is built on the statements of the online forums. In the last days of the rehearsals was decided to change the ending of the performance, and voiced some posts on the events on the Maidan on the night of 29 to 30 of November 2013 , when a group of “Berkut” dispersed demonstrators.
These comments displeased representatives of district authorities. Firstly the theatre was proposed to move from Lutsk district House of Culture “amicably ,” and in case of disobedience, promised to find a way to ” kick out” the theatre.
On January 16 Lutsk District Department of Culture issued an order “About the Changes in Staffing.” According to these changes, the theatre director Ruslana Porytska must have been fired on March 16, 2014. The theatre was given 2 months to leave the House of Culture .
We make a stand against the pressure on theatre “GaRmYdEr” and a stand for freedom from censorship for creativity!
We call for support theatre “GaRmYdEr” Lutsk in any way (spread this information, legal advice or any other way) .
