5:00. UA

A performance created by Ukrainian artists as part of an artistic residency under the auspices of the Forum of Theatre Directors of the Silesian Voivodeship.

“5:00. UA” is an extraordinary project. A dozen actresses from Ukraine, under the aegis of the Forum of Theatre Directors of the Silesian Voivodeship, created a performance in which they share with us their experiences of the first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, their escape with their children to Poland, and their stay in our country. The performance consists of a series of improvised scenes linked by the theme of war.

There are serious, dramatic and tragic scenes, all the more moving because we know it is all true, but there are also images like from a good protestcabaret with songs and choreography. We are watching a poetic-documentary record of feelings, impressions and experiences, which make up a stage letter of Ukrainian women – first to Poles, then to the whole world. The performance created by Ukrainian women artists as part of an artistic residency under the auspices of the Forum of Theatre Directors of the Silesian Voivodeship.

„(…) potrafi rozśmieszyć, a nieraz też skłonić do refleksji. Działa jak dobrze skrojone kino gatunkowe, z rozwiązaniami z którymi teatr, moim zdaniem, mógłby częściej eksperymentować”.
