Synopsis
Written in 2012, the play foresaw the events that happened at the Maidan a year later.
Olena lives behind the tightly shut shades in an apartment overlooking the Maidan where the popular uprising begins. But she cannot escape the wheel of history. Olena is drawn into a chain of crazy events, some funny and absurd, others deeply tragic, which cause her to abandon the non-interference position and ultimately lose her life saving people in the square… The main plot line contains the scenes where dishes, office folder, seals, a handgun and cobblestones come to life, depicting the social environment that has given birth to the Maidan.
The play comprises of 7 scenes, each written in a genre of its own (tragicomedy, tragifarce, drama of the absurd, documentary drama, etc.).
