Someone Like Me
NAFTA Theatre (Kharkiv, Ukraine) • Professional company
About the show
Someone Like Me is a physical solo performance by Nina Khyzhna from NAFTA Theatre in Kharkiv, Ukraine, presented at Studio Two. A disembodied creature journeys through the bodies of others, learning the experiences of those who meet with fear day after day and find ways to resist it. Through the state of muscles, movements, habits and feelings, the creature absorbs the experiences of people who have to exist in danger caused by war — their stress, pain, sadness, new skills of fighting and survival, but also pleasure, humour and thirst.
Why see this show?
A physically powerful and politically resonant performance from Ukraine — NAFTA Theatre's work puts the body at the centre of a story about war, survival and endurance. Urgent, unusual and deeply human.
