Ukraine’s remarkable aptitude for resilience and grassroots
activism, as witnessed since February 2022, is closely connected to
a process that began with the Euromaidan Revolution in 2013-14,
when over two million Ukrainians took to the streets in defense of
democracy and human rights. In the months directly following the
Revolution, Russia illegally occupied Ukraine’s Crimean
Peninsula, and began funneling both arms and troops into the
eastern region of Donbas to fuel a conflict between the Ukrainian
army and a small group of radical separatists. Since that time,
Ukrainians have been working diligently to build the society in
which they have wanted to live, all while fighting Russia and its
proxies in Europe’s forgotten war. Ukrainian New Drama After the
Euromaidan Revolution brings together key works from the
country’s impressively generative post-Revolutionary period, many
of them published here in English for the first time. As well as
established voices from the European theatre repertoire such as
Natalka Vorozhbyt and Maksym Kurochkin, this collection also
features iconic plays from Ukraine’s post-Maidan generation of
playwrights Natalka Blok, Andrii Bondarenko, Anastsiia Kosodii,
Lena Lagushonkova, Olha Matsiupa, and Kateryna Penkova. Considered
together, these plays reflect the diversity of voices in Ukraine as
a country seeking to comprehend both the personal and political
consequences of the Revolution, the war, and all that has come
since. A key element to the remarkable culture of defiance and
resistance that Ukrainians created in these years has been new
approaches to arts activism, particularly in the performing arts.
In the eight years between Euromaidan and the full-scale invasion,
Ukraine witnessed an incredible boom in socially engaged
performance practice. Playwriting in particular has become an
essential genre through which artists have sought to bear witness
to the repercussions of the war and to create spaces for the
reclaiming of historical and cultural narratives; Ukrainian New
Drama After the Euromaidan Revolution captures this spirit and
published this necessary and vital work in English for the very
first time.
