Ilkhom Theater Festival March 27, 2008

In some places, theatre isn't just entertainment; it's a political act. So it is with renowned Uzbek company, The Ilkhom Theatre. Led by founder Mark Weil, until his tragic death in 2007, Ilkhom has long spoken truths that censors don't like -- from the Soviets in the 1970s to religious fundamentalists today. The theatre is pleased to launch it's season with two of Ilkhom's plays exploring the dicey terrain where East meets West.
