GENERATION JEANS

Belarus Free Theatre

Q & A after the performance

[EN] Generation Jeans is an autobiographical monologue about rock music and resistance written and performed by BFT co-founder Nicolai Khalezin, with music by DJ Laurel.

When Belarus was part of the Soviet Union its people were prohibited to wear jeans or listen to rock music. The buying or selling of either one could result in arrest at the hands of the KGB. Detained during a demonstration in 1998, Khalezin offers a candid account of the degradations of incarceration, the blossoming of young love and how denim became a symbol of freedom under the dictatorship. Generation Jeans is an ode to the people who are not bound by age and who fight for the freedom of their country. Every country has this generation.
