Festivals For Belarusians Outside Belarus
Life of young people in Belarus is balancing between the past and the future, a desperate attempt to escape from the Soviet past and to catch up with the pace of the world’s development no matter what barriers the state or other countries create for that. The struggle has become something natural. At present it has stepped with a heavy foot also into the field of culture and music most of all. In Belarus you will not see street artists (except for very rare cases), police presence has become a norm during the performances of “Free theater” and banned rock groups have no other way to meet their public but arrange concerts outside the country.
