Summary/Abstract: What type of drama, and with what possibilities of expression, emerges in cultures constrained by power? How and what do playwrights who are forced to write anonymously and cannot count on seeing their plays performed in their own country write? Using the example of several dramatic texts by Belarussian contemporary playwrights (first of all we deal with the texts I will emerge from the forest, straighten my backbone, and it shall become my sword by noname67 and Half a Year by Victoria Koval) and theatrical projects that emerged in response to the suppressed protests in Belarus, the study presents the themes, motifs, and modes of narration of the events that will become part of the national history and memory as its traumatic experience.
