Description
Theater in the Face of War aims to commemorate and honour people and events in Polish and Ukrainian theatre at a time when people-to-people solidarity is especially important and should rise above nationalistic prejudices, historical resentments, or political interests. For Polish and Ukrainian theatre artists, 2014 and the beginning of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine marked a period when distant poetics and theatrical traditions, as well as artists who had no creative or social ties to each other, began to work together. They began to discover themselves and their theatre in the face of an enemy that, for some, was real and a threat, destroying their country, and for others a potential danger.
The ambition of the book is to present artistic activities in a broad social and political context. For theatre in the face of war never functions in an abstract vacuum; it happens here and now, created by people for whom art is both a form of artistic expression and a struggle for independence.
