Opening Night: “Donbass”
— In the Donbass region of
Ukraine, a territory bordering
Russia to the east, war has
been festering and raging
since 2014. Following the
events of Euromaidan and
the Ukrainian revolution,
pro-Russian separatists
have clashed with Ukrainian
nationalists, which has
involved a maelstrom of
armed confl ict, domestic
terror, bureaucratic
retribution, and propaganda.
Based on actual events,
and comprised of loosely
connected vignettes,
“Donbass” is a surrealistic
journey into the dissolution of
a society still staggering from
a century of war, Soviet rule,
and collapse.
