Using elements of absurdity and dark humor, Green Corridors is a poetic, harrowing journey through a world fractured by war. Ukrainian playwright Natalka Vorozhbyt’s deeply human storytelling, brought to life by Kay Martinovich, invites us to bear witness to displacement, resistance, and the echoing pain of conflict and offers a poignant and urgent reflection on displacement, survival, and identity. Natalka Vorozhbyt is a leading Ukrainian playwright, screenwriter, and director whose work has become central to the evolution of contemporary Ukrainian theatre and film.

As Prof. Darya Tsymbalyuk notes, February 24th marks the 4th anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This winter has been considered the harshest for millions of Ukrainians, and by attending this play she would like us to think about all those living through the terror of the war.
