Since the first hours of the full-scale Russian aggression, the collective of theatrical workers in Ukraine faces a new reality of war and turns the theater into a shelter for refugees and a center of humanitarian help. Actors, directors, and art managers get new social roles. Amidst the crisis, they live their young lives and find a place for art, joy, and mutual support.
