Ukrainian theatre during the current war

ABSTRACT Use of creativity in places of conflict is an essential base for the survival of individuals. Theatre can be produced during wartime, and it should be an ongoing process. Until the end of the conflict is in sight, artists need a platform to share and transform their ideas into reality. The violence can be filtered through a process of self-reflection and analysis; despair can be changed into hope and songs, sadness into opportunity and new openings. People should keep believing in their freedom – and theatre is just the right place to be free.This series of interviews concerns Ukrainian Theatre since the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The interviews highlight the current thinking among people deeply involved on how to respond to the current conflict in different contexts and how to present the material to Ukrainian and international audiences.
