365 Days of full-scale war in Ukraine. Visual Diary

Fri 24 Feb, 19h
Arena21, MuseumsQuartier Wien

A joint event of MuseumsQuartier Wien and Office Ukraine. Shelter for Ukrainian Artists
The evening will be held in German and English with Ukrainian translation

The event organized by Office Ukraine and MQ will use a variety of artistic contributions to shed light on what war means for those affected by it: What do people experience when they flee? How do they experience their first time in a foreign country? And how can the coexistence between new arrivals and Austrians succeed against the background of such different life situations?

"365 Days" (30 min), play
"365 Days" is a project of the Burgtheaterstudio in the framework of the Junge Akademie 22/23 and brought together 11 performers:inside, all of whom currently live in Vienna and some of whom come from Ukraine. The collective approach to dramatic events became a common artistic reflection during the last 365 days. The theater project explores the unspeakable and all the successful and failed attempts to understand each other.

Direction: Anna Manzano, collaboration: Anastasiia Yakovenko
