The play focuses on a group of women from Ukraine and Poland, probing into what unites and what drives them apart at a time when they all share the suffering brought on by war.
Beata Chyczewska, who plays Zuza, one of the main characters, told the media that this first international co-production was a big challenge for the Białystok company.
She added: “It is a lesson in accepting others as they are. The language barrier apart, there are differences in the way theatres function [in the three countries], but at the end of the day, it all proved a useful exchange of experience.”
