Description

2019/2020 ja 2020/2021 hooaegadel on Vaba Lava kuraatoriks leedu näitekirjanik Marius Ivaškevičius. Kahe hooaja kuraatoriprogrammi teemaks on “Murranguaja inimesed”, mille fookuses on aastad 1989–2019 ning Baltimaad ja nende lähinaabrid: Venemaa, Valgevene ja Ukraina. Just sellistes geograafilistes ja ajalistes piirides soovib Vaba Lava teatrikunsti vahendeid kasutades uurida inimeste saatusi.
