A one-woman performance featuring eight documentary stories written by Ukrainians impacted by the ongoing war is set to come to The Lowry.
“UKRLAND: Stories from Ukraine’ creates an honest conversation regarding the Russian war with Ukraine, and highlights the humanitarian impact of the situation.
Directed by Yurii Radionov and performed by Shorena Shoniia, these eight stories of rape, mutilation and are from women who “champion freedom, liberty and hope.”
The show was originally premiered at The Lowry back in August, with The Lowry passionate about supporting the work of Radionov and Shoniia.
Antonia Beck, Senior Producer: Artist Development said: “UKRLAND is bold, visually stunning and urgent piece of political theatre created by Yurii Radionov and Shorena Shonia – two highly skilled theatre makers who fled their home city of Kyiv, Ukraine in June this year.
“UKRLAND is an emotionally charged piece that not only offers audiences an insight into the horrific experiences that many are currently facing in Ukraine, but also champions freedom, liberty and hope.”
For ease of understanding, Ukrainian subtitles are used for English scenes, and English subtitles for Ukrainian ones.
‘UKRLAND: Stories from Ukraine’ shows at The Lowry on 23rd November.
