Ukrainian women

Look forward to Aalborg Teater’s critically acclaimed community play "Ukrainian Women" when it visits CPH STAGE. On February 24, 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine. The war has forced many Ukrainians to leave their homes. Women have left their husbands. Children have left their fathers. In Aalborg alone, around 1,000 Ukrainians who fled the war now reside. The news cycle focuses on global politics, military aid, superpowers, (failed) peace agreements, chaos, and weapon systems. But in this community stage production, we give a voice to those it is actually about: women who have fled, but who have no voice in the news cycle. Here, seven Ukrainian women take the stage and share their experiences, joys, and sorrows in a life that – for all of them – was changed in an instant when the war reached them. The performance is curated and presented by CPH STAGE in collaboration with Aalborg Teater and the Royal Danish Theatre.

CPH STAGE and the Royal Danish Theatre are entering into a multi-year collaboration to house CPH STAGE’s festival center at the Royal Playhouse (Skuespilhuset). The festival's opening performance, along with other selected festival shows, will also be performed on the Royal Playhouse stages, and the two institutions will collaborate on a series of events held during the festival.
