Amadoka
Dramaturgical introduction
The story of Romana, the story of Ulyana, the story of Sofia. Three women whose destinies intersect just as history and the present do, same as the fates of Ukraine and Europe do. Romana tries to restore memory and identity to a disfigured, traumatised soldier returning home from combat in Donbas. Ulyana and the Jewish boy Pinchas might have fallen in love if we were not in Galicia at the end of the 1930s. Through Sofia, we plunge ourselves even deeper into the past, into the time of the murderous famine and Stalinist repression against Ukrainian dissidents. Ukraine as part of the USSR, Ukraine shaping its national identity, Ukraine fighting for its firm place in Europe.
