Azerbaijan Projects

In 2016, Bond Street Theatre initiated a three-week social theatre project in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Working with students from the State University of Culture and Arts, we conducted a three-week program that:
  • Trained 22 students in Bond Street's social theatre techniques.
  • Created an original performance with eight of the students, which focussed on themes of domestic violence. The new play, titled Moon Cycles, featured both the students and members of Bond Street Theatre.
  • Toured the show to five locations across the country, reaching over 1000 people.
"Agents for Change", an upcoming documentary produced by Michael Carson Productions.

While gender equality laws have been enacted in Azerbaijan, implementation remains poor, especially in rural areas. The youth were eager to share these stories, and to bring issues of corruption to light. After each show, we asked the audience to ask questions to characters in the play, which led to complex and insightful conversations. The actors had to respond to some challenging questions, and we observed their confidence and understanding of the material grow with each performance.

The students have gone on to form their own theatre troupe, which they have named Maybe Theatre.
"Bond Street Theatre changed me 100%."
