1984

PRESENTED BY WITHINTHEATRE
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

1984 is a compelling physical theatre adaptation by Slavic actors, marking the 40th anniversary of Orwell‘s narrative. With inspiration from Nick Hern‘s play, it delves into themes of surveillance and control, offering a haunting and immersive experience that challenges perceptions of truth and reality.

Against the backdrop of contemporary Russia and Belarus, where Orwell‘s novel remains banned, the performance takes on added significance, illuminating the enduring relevance of its cautionary themes. The play serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of preserving truth and freedom in society.
