In 1920, amid the upheaval of postwar Ukraine, theatre pioneer Les Kurbas leads a group of young performers from Kyiv into the countryside, staging plays in exchange for food. While the troupe attends a local performance held in their honor, six women—four actresses, a pianist, and a dancer—remain behind with their children. Over a shared meal made from that evening’s offerings, they rehearse dances, tell stories, and reflect on their lives. Set against the backdrop of early Soviet-era instability, the piece captures an evening of companionship, artistic resilience, and emotional vulnerability among women navigating uncertainty and loss.

This production will be performed in Ukrainian with English supertitles.
