In an immediate response to the invasion of Ukraine, Prague City Theatre started a project called Imagine UA. Through this project, our main ambition is to integrate artists who have had to leave Ukraine into professional and student projects, to offer them a platform for independent artistic creation and, last but not least, to provide scholarship programs and other forms of assistance to those who have had to stay in Ukraine for some reason. At all three MDP stages, as well as in other spaces facilitated by us, we have started the 1st Ukrainian season 2022/23 and are now working on artistic projects for the 2023/24 season.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME FOR PLAYWRIGHTS IN UKRAINE
The following playwrights have written a current play for us: Volodymyr Raffeenko, Andriy Bondarchuk, Tomofii Birnyukov, Nina Zahkozenko, Irina Garets.
We will continue to work with the texts, presenting them in productions or staged readings.
Now we are announcing the second round of scholarships for five more playwrights who had to stay in their homes in Ukraine or escaped from the country. More information here
