Staff members from a Polish NGO have created a theater event which tells the stories of Chechen refugees who live in Poland.<\/p>\n
\n
The project is coordinated by The Culture Association of Practitioners (Stowarzyszenie Praktykow Kultury) and financed by the Culture Office of the Capital City of Warsaw (Biura Kultury Miasta Sto\u0142ecznego Warszawy).<\/p>\n
According to the NGO\u2019s website, in the show you will find an answer. You will watch the real life stories of specific women. It comes from another perspective that you haven\u2019t seen before; painful, personal and modest in words. Their perspectives are strong, loud and articulate. There is only a single voice. On the television screens and internet forums, you can see the weapons and all of these became the reason for extra judicial judgments, generalizations, prejudices, propaganda and ignorance. But in this scenario, the women are balanced on the edge. In this scenario, the real stories of refugees in Poland who came from Chechnya are used as well as fragments from the books of Zahar Prilepin, “Pathologies (Patologie)” and Petra Proch\u00e1skova, “Neither Force, Nor War. The Stories of Chechen women are true (Ani \u017cycie, ani wojna. Czeczenia oczami kobiet)”. The authors say that the women are heroines but they cannot disclose who they are. The title of the show is “Zina\u2019s Stories” with Zina being the fictional lead character.<\/p>\n
The premiere of “Zina\u2019s Stories” will be on October 30, 2010 between 7:00pm and 8:00pm local time in Warsaw\u2019s Centrum Kultury \u0141owicka (ul. \u0141owicka 21).<\/p>\n
The following shows will be at the Scena Lubelska 30\/32 (ul. Lubelska 30\/32 Warsaw). On 11\/6\/2010 at 7:30pm; 11\/7\/2010 at 4:30pm and at 7:30pm.<\/p>\n
