Lethe 忘川

Lethe is a participatory theatre adapted from Chernobyl Prayer: A Chronicle of the Future, written by Svetlana Alexievich. Audiences first engaged in a “prize-winning quiz” of condensed world history facts. Then three real stories were presented by the ensemble, showcasing the lives of the soldiers, the pregnant woman, and dead children in Chernobyl.
