Performing Exiles - by Tamara Trunova - World premiere

“Confronting the Shadow” by the Ukrainian director Tamara Trunova is a co-production between the Left Bank Theatre in Kyiv and the Performing Exiles Festival. The work is an attempt to represent and highlight the theme of absence.



Initially planned as a stage production revolving around issues of war and feminism, in recent days and weeks Trunova has widened its focus: Is what is at stake the disappearance of an entire country? And will that country’s role be reduced to that of a victim? What and who is the dark side and why does it consistently pursue us? Does the shadow have a voice? How long will it survive after the object, the subject or the entire country has disappeared?

Together with six actors and a musician, Tamara Trunova will develop a new production shaped by living and working in Ukraine and Europe.



With

Oleksandr Sokolov, Iryna Tkachenko, Maryna Klimova, Iryna Mak, Oleh Stefan, Kostiantyn Koretskyi
