Our opening weekend also coincides with the 35th anniversary of Ukrainian independence. Taras Semchyshyn, President of the Ukrainian Cultural Center of Los Angeles, along with board members and others from the Cultural Center will be with us to speak to the current situation in Ukraine as this brutal war continues. Be with us for the special occasion and this very special production.
Green Corridors by Natalka Vorozbhyt
Translated by John Freedman with Natalia Bratus
The west coast premiere of the critically acclaimed play by one of Ukraine’s most esteemed playwrights and screenwriters. Green Corridors explores the human cost of war, examining the harrowing yet darkly humorous realities of four Ukrainian women who have fled their country following Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion: a woman who reluctantly left her pets behind, a mother adjusting to life away from her husband on the front lines, a woman bearing physical and psychological trauma, and an actress determined to share Ukraine’s story with the world. It alternates between the women’s current shared reality in crowded European refugee centers and flashbacks detailing their past lives, blending modern experiences with cinematic flashbacks of Ukrainian historical figures who also faced agonizing choices in the face of invasion. It is a story of resilience and resistance, of courage and heartache, of loss and determination.
See you at the theatre!
Merci,
Frédérique, Charles & Archie ❤️
