Take the Rubbish Out, Sasha

This performance is Language No Problem (LNP). These performances feature minimal to no spoken words, or are conducted in English.

Take the Rubbish Out, Sasha is a powerful play about the shattering impact of war, and the astonishing resilience of those living through it. Written by one of Ukraine's leading playwrights.

[English spoken, see dutch translation below]

Sasha, a colonel in the Ukrainian army who died due to a heart failure, sees his widow Katia and his stepdaughter Oksana prepare his funeral feast.

A year later, the country will be engulfed in the events that can make the dead rise. Sasha is ready to be resurrected, but his family is not. They are reluctant to bury him again.

Press quotes

The Stages
'Extraordinary... blends initially recognisable feelings of gut-wrenching grief, with the surreal sensation of what it must feel like to be at war. This is in part achieved through a beguiling magical-realist quality to Natal'ya Vorozhbit's writing. More than anything, though, this is a story of family and community, brought together by unbearable events'

The Guardian
'Almost unbearably emotive... Vorozhbit's mix of naturalism and the supernatural, comedy and tragedy, works well'
