Actress Svetlana Yatsevich passed away in the twenties of November. This was reported by her friends on social media. The exact date of death is not specified. She was 57 years old.
In the nineties, Yatsevich played in the Minsk theater "Dze-Ya?" (now the New Drama Theater). Almost all productions had parallel Belarusian and English versions. The company participated many times in theater festivals in the Baltic countries, Ukraine and Russia, as well as in Edinburgh, Scotland, writes "Zerkalo".
In the 2010s, she worked at the Minsk Regional Drama Theater (in Molodechno) and at the capital's Chamber Drama Theater. She starred in the TV series "Two Women and a Man", "Ecce homo", "Mukhtar. New trace."
Yatsevich created her own theater for people with Down syndrome. "In 2007, I came across an advertisement: a person was needed to rehabilitate patients at adult psychoneurological boarding school No. 3 in Novinki. And so I went to work there," she said in an interview. The following year, she created the "Sunny Children" theater of the "Down Syndrome" public association, which operated at the Territorial Center for Social Services of the Population of the Moscow District of Minsk.
"Children with Down syndrome are my favorites. Well, not exactly children, some of them are 35 years old, but they are still children. The main thing is that these are people you can trust. They don't have a hidden agenda: if they are angry, then they are angry, if they are happy, then they are happy, if they accept you, then they accept you, if not, then get out of here," Yatsevich said.
