Andrii Liubov is the founder of the creative association Public art and the “Aloha Theater” creative association. He is also the founder and curator of the annual OD’ART festival, as well as the founder and head of the public organization “Art Workshop Bloom,” which is engaged in the transformation of urban space and support of Ukrainian artists. He is the director of the documentary play “Bomb Shelter: Is it possible to survive?”.

This performative play introduces Odesa’s audience to the problems of contemporary Ukrainian artists who were forced to leave their homes due to the war, fleeing Russian shelling. They are simultaneously actors in the play and performers who present their works and discuss current pressing issues.

 

There is no script for this play. The idea of the performance is to bring the stage performance as close to life as possible, recreating the real conditions of communication between artists. The play is a part of the actors’ lives right at the moment of the show. It’s a performance-experiment that is played without rehearsals, combining performative, documentary, and immersive practices.

 

The presentation took place on December 1, 2023, at the Odesa Academic Puppet Theater.

 

The work was implemented by proto produkciia foundation within the framework of the program Cultural Bridges: support of cultural figures from Southern regions of Ukraine, implemented by Insha Osvita with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Ukraine Confidence Building Initiative (UCBI).
