“The White Disease”: the fantastic realism of one wartime
The project goal is to contribute to the creation of a high image of Ukrainian performative art and to promote actual Ukrainian senses and values through showcasing the dramatic performance "The White Disease" by Karel Čapek in Europe.“The White Disease”: the fantastic realism of one wartime
The project aims to start an open and broad cultural dialogue in Ukrainian society. K. Čapek's fantastic play, written in 1937, goes beyond the dystopian genre and acquires the features of realism, due to the full consonance of the plot and ideological context with the events that the world has experienced in the last few years: the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
