"Green Corridors" - Ukraine

Tell the story. Change the world.“From its earliest days, Chicago has been the North American gateway for trade and transportation. That legacy lives on today, as Chicago creates and defines its international gateways- in business, in trade, and in the arts. The City we are building celebrates international art and is eager to explore and collaborate with its global partners. It is our belief that IVP is one more bridge to that present-and-future Chicago, by creating opportunities for conversation and connection among diverse urban voices. Where might this symphony of voices lead? What opportunities for playwrights and producers might we create? That conversation might be the most exciting of all.”~Patrizia Acerra, Executive Director

Green Corridors – November 11th, 2024By Natalka VorozhbytTranslated by - John Freedman with Natalia BratusDirected by - Kay MartinovichIn collaboration withTrap Door TheatreSynopsis-Green Corridors tells the story of the involuntary European integration of four refugees from Ukraine following Russia's full-scale invasion. It is an attempt to analyze Ukraine's relations with the EU, the relationship that refugees have with those who have remained in Ukraine, and to reflect on the traumatic experience of living the life of a refugee who has lost one's home. The play was commissioned by the Kammerspiele theater in Munich with the hope of provoking Germans and Ukrainians into a frank conversation. This is a play with historical references, with elements of absurdity and black humor - the use of these tools allows a spectator to distance oneself from the play's events and to be more ruthless towards the characters. As such, Ukrainians are not victims in this play: They are funny, scary, touching and invincible.
