ETC and Ukrainian Theatre: A Dialogue of Art, Change, and Support

The Theatre Times: As a mid-December snow fell over the city of Kyiv, Ukraine, the European Theatre Convention (ETC) held a series of events related to its four-year-old “Theatre is Dialogue — Dialogue of Cultures” program. Anchored at the historic Kyiv Academic Molodyy Theatre, a few blocks from Independence Square, or Maidan, the presentations by and in support of Ukrainian theatre artists took place weeks after the Kerch Strait incident last year. While the ETC, a network and platform for European theatres, is based in Berlin, the program and its perspective only confirmed all that Ukrainian theatre has to offer Europe and the world.
