Pasha Zalutsky
About
Pasha Zalutsky, without trying to appear better or bolder than he is, finds an inexhaustible source of absurdity in Belarusian everyday life. His Life of Pi is about what it's like to be openly gay in a country where "not like that" is already a sentence to eternal suspicion. Pasha wittily dissects the familiar Slavic cocktail of taboos, patriarchy and draconian bureaucracy, without forgetting the personal right to love and a little warmth between reports and fears. His irony is not an armored vest, but a way of not dissolving into the distrust of those around him.
