Where do you belong when your government suppresses your basic right to expression?
What do you do when your government imprisons you for making art?
How would you survive one of the most brutal prison systems in the world? 

Belarus Free Theatre
 combines forces with Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina, who makes her New York stage debut, in a searing performance on how art persists under oppression.

Through the prism of persecuted artists who will not be silenced, Burning Doors reveals how artists living under dictatorship illuminate the knife-edge of complacency in democratic societies reminding us of the true cost of freedom and dangers of inertia.
