A collaboration between the National Book Award-winning journalist and the prize-winning photographer on the queer-resistance theater troupeIn the fall of 2017, the internationally acclaimed underground theater troop, the Belarus Free Theatre, took New York by storm for a production of their harrowing anti-torture, anti-Putin play, Burning Doors. Joined by Maria Alyokhina, a member of Russian punk group Pussy Riot, who made international headlines when they were imprisoned for staging an anti-Putin performance in a Moscow cathedral, it met with enthusiastic acclaim from critics, with New York magazine praising it as a "smart, smoldering, physically brutal piece of the theater."In Two Women in Their Time, award-winning documentary photographer Misha Friedman and New Yorker reporter Masha Gessen take us back stage, giving us an intimate look at this fiercely creative drama troop that officially cannot perform in its homeland, which remains a dictatorship in all but name. Two Women in Their Time is not only an astonishing series of photos documenting some of the theater troupe's productions in New York, but Gessen and Freidman also visit Minsk to meet Svetlana Sugako and Nadezhda Brodskaya, the young lesbian couple who keep the place running. They live a life in the borderlands-between underground and public, between the closet and being out, in a country where same-sex sexual activity is legal but yet remains taboo. Two Women in Their Time was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS). | Two Women In Their Time by Misha Friedman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
