Ukrainians in Wartime

Performance

24.02.2024 @ Kunststiftung des Landes Sachsen-Anhalts

My vision is to tell Ukrainians stories that transcend national borders and language barriers for the duration of an evening in order to create a theater of the future.

People who have been affected by the loss of their homeland and by their torn family histories and who have nevertheless retained the ability to love and to forgive - despite the most adverse circumstances - will have their say.

The concept of home, the connection between identity and territory, is in urgent need of new reflections and ideas due to technological progress, social development, and migration movements that continue to increase.

As in my previous documentary work "The Time That Remains - An Evening with Éva Fahidi" based on "Die Ermittlung" by Peter Weiss, I would like to write an oratorio of the life stories of Ukrainians stranded in Halle by the war.

In the planned realization, the attempt is to be made to merge the documentary developed texts into a rhythmic composition.

Inspired by the memories, I am developing a theater piece whose message is as timeless as it is universal. The foundation of a family as a vision of the future, beyond nationalities.
