This is a play about war. From what is happening now. About how the war started. What happens to people who are separated by war. This is documentary evidence in letters that friends currently in Ukraine and Russia send to each other every day. The author of the idea is the actor and director Julia Aug. The basic text is her correspondence with friends in bomb shelters in different cities of Ukraine. It is not just a theatrical production, but a living chronicle of what is happening right now, in our time, around us and in our lives.
