Belarus Free Theatre is a Belarusian underground theatre group.
Under the current political system the Belarus Free Theatre has no official registration, no premises, nor any other facilities. Rehearsals and performances are normally held secretly in small private apartments, which, due to security and the risk of persecution, must constantly be changed.
On several occasions, performances were given in street cafes and in the countryside, in the woods. Staffs members have been repeatedly harassed by the authorities for their participation in the Belarus Free Theatre activities and the stage director together with other people were sacked from their jobs at state-run theatres.
