Art Amongst the Rubble: Voices Beyond the Empire This summer, Tea House Theatre opens its doors — and its stage — to voices too often unheard.

Art Amongst the Rubble is a living, breathing celebration of creativity from across the post-Soviet and formerly Soviet-influenced world. It is a space to reflect, reclaim, and reimagine identity through art, amidst the echoes of empire.

Through film, dance, theatre, music, poetry, and visual expression, we gather to explore what freedom felt like when it arrived, how capitalism collided with culture, and what it means to integrate — or resist — the values of the wider world. These are stories of displacement and renewal, of rubble and resilience.

We want to hear your story — but not only yours. Come and share the stories of your parents, your grandparents — those who lived through it, carried it, survived it, or resisted it. Their voices matter too. This is a space for remembering as much as it is for expressing.

Sunday 20th July | 7 PM | Free Entry This is a free and open evening — a warm welcome to everyone, whether you’re performing, sharing, or simply listening.

We invite you to join us at the Tea House Theatre to meet others with stories from that “other” part of the world — from lives shaped by a different system, different truths. Come to hear and be heard. It is a gathering. A remembering. A reimagining. Come and witness how art grows from ruin — and help us shape this living archive of post-imperial creativity.
