Paging Ukraine

The show tells the story of ten women who faced the consequences of the war in Ukraine. By dramatizing the honest confessions of Ukrainian women, the viewer is put in front of the atrocities women encounter in the war, a raw and unadorned reality of their lives; a reality that, unfortunately, is not foreign to us today. PAGING UKRAINE covers experiences of women and war, women in war and women after the war–the small stories of ordinary people. These stories are related to the voice of the writer who kept a war diary, managing to bring together the most intense experiences. All of this is shown in a plastic, non-illustrative manner. The text is sustained by the movement of the characters’ bodies that are still trapped in the world of war. Often these movements come in counterpoint to what is narrated.
