Come to be in solidarity with Ukrainians and others worldwide thrust undeservedly into war zones, remembering it could be us next. Our common humanity is at stake.

Descend with us into the bunker-like setting of Dupont Underground to witness the last surviving member of a Ukrainian military band sheltering from Russian bombardment below the steelworks of Mariupol in 2022. Inna Goncharova’s play presents a vivid depiction of the terrible essence of war, while the spooky, echoey space of Dupont Underground provides an eerie parallel for the trumpeter's subterranean bunker.

Directed by world-celebrated Hungarian director János Szász with Michael Kevin Darnall and Lise Bruneau, this production resonates with haunting music by trumpeter Kevin McKee and a vocal ensemble of Ukrainian men. Our fully staged experience is the latest event in our ongoing commitment to the writings of Ukrainian playwrights, bringing the far-away suffering of the Ukrainians up close during the fourth year of the Russian invasion.
