After a recent tour of Off and Off Off Broadway offerings, I was reminded how exhilarating theater can be when it connects performers and audiences with relevant world issues.
In KS6: Small Forward, Snytsina reflects on her journey from a childhood in a Soviet Republic to triumphing in European basketball, highlighting the sports culture's dark side.
Snytsina's candid storytelling touches on her personal struggles, including growing up amid bullying, the violent pro-democracy protests in Minsk, and her journey as a lesbian.
The striking imagery of a basketball spurting out blood during a performance effectively symbolizes the violent repression faced by those in Belarus post-2020 protests.
