Brainwashed is a solo clown show about growing up in a dictatorship.
Alina brings her personal sometimes bizarre experiences from living in Belarus under a brutal regime to the stage. Her dark comedy explores the surreal and disturbing reality of growing up under dictatorship. She shares her childhood love for all things communist, and, through a series of absurd clown bits, she engages the audience in the process of brainwashing. The show features a mix of silly elements, including live cooking of soup, which is shared with the audience, creating an interactive and intimate setting.
Trigger warnings: This is a dark comedy based on a personal experience, there will be mentions of death, murder, self-harm, and police brutality. Also partial nudity.

NATHAN FRIZZELL
"Thought-provoking and heartfelt show telling a unique story that elevates your average one-person show. Deserving of a longer run and a larger audience. Alina is talented, genuine and connects easily with the audience."
ALLISON SHEA REED
'I was blown away by the show that Alina and Nathan put together. It was hysterical and heartfelt, while keeping the audience on their toes from start to finish. Alina is a force of nature and an incredible talent, and Nathan has directed the heck out of the piece. Could not recommend more highly!"
MARIA GNOZA
"Super funny, charming, and imaginative!! Was so impressed by Alina’s performance – She is bold and totally captivating. Can’t recommend enough."
