Revolutionary Voices: Performing Arts in Central & Eastern Europe in the 1980s

About the project

November 17, 2009 – March 20, 2010

The exhibition Revolutionary Voices, created by the Performing Arts Museum, commemorated the 20th anniversary of the fall of Communism in the countries of the Czech Republic, the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia in conjunction with the performing arts festival, Performing Revolution in Central and Eastern Europe. The exhibition focuses on theater performances and other art events that, through their form and/or content, contested the prevailing totalitarian regime and anticipated the forthcoming political/social changes by breaking the boundaries set by the Communist state’s politicians, aesthetes, and censors.
