In August, the Kharkiv independent theatre Nafta will participate in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. They will perform the one-woman show Someone Like Me, a project by director, actress and performer Nina Khyzhna, with text by Lyuba Ilnytska, choreography by Anatoliy Sochivko and music by Nick Acorn.
The play ‘Someone Like Me’ explores the experience of a disembodied being who moves into people's bodies in order to experience the world through them. Through physicality, it explores the nature of feelings of threat and danger.
Earlier, with the play ‘Someone Like Me,’ the Nafta Theatre was longlisted for the 7th GRA Festival Award.
