Love, Hate, and Human Rights
A Theatrical response to Russian Article 6.21 and other Human Rights Concerns Worldwide
In June 2013 Russian President Putin signed the bill banning ‘Propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations to minors’ into law, provoking international outcry around the world.
Kibo Productions brought together some of London’s brilliant emerging playwrights, directors, and actors to create short plays in response to this and other human rights concerns worldwide. The result was a festival of plays that aimed to inspire, question, and bring humanity to some of the world’s most pressing debates.
Love, Hate, and Human Rights was full of new plays that explored the boundary between love, hate, and politics with theatrical abandon.
