SPECIAL: 'Theatre Under Fire' - fighting for the artistic soul of frontline Kharkiv

Today, in a special pre-recorded episode, we take you back to
Kharkiv, where Francis and Adélie met a young theatre company
called Ocheret. Proud heirs to a city with a long tradition of
artists defending Ukrainian identity, and one that is primarily
Russian-speaking, these performers are part of Kharkiv’s cultural
frontline. With the city lying just kilometres from active
fighting, the members of the company, all in their early
twenties, remain unflinching in their decision to carry on
Kharkiv’s artistic legacy, creating theatre in the midst of war.
We hear their reflections, and then an update on what has
happened in the months since.
