劇目簡介
About the play
我,一個女人同我個女,2022年2月24號離開咗我屋企基輔,走難去意大利。佢哋話,打仗嘅時候唔可以開心唔可以講笑,只可以幻想自己畀人槍殺或者侵犯,有人收留你要感恩,「如果唔係點對得住受緊苦嘅人?」
我依家就坐低將我嘅經歷由頭話你知,可以笑,我話嘅。
'In wartime, people should not be well... If someone is killed or raped, then you should at least suffer hell at this time... For example - imagine being killed or raped.'
On 24th February, 2022, I left my hometown Kyiv with my daughter and fled to Italy. I am going to tell you all of my stories, and you can laugh, I promise.
A true story of war and evacuation and life, and everything in between.

Words from the playwright
I probably have never written a more honest text about myself. More direct. Without using comparisons and metaphors. Because I had the idea that in a world of lies (where we are now), the best weapon is the undisguised truth, although it may be upsetting and not very beautiful. There are even a few people whom I wouldn't let read Save the Light... My mom, for example... Just kidding. One European theater asked me to write this play at the beginning of the war, but it was too difficult to write immediately. I missed all the deadlines, and I stopped writing several times. I finished the play a month after it was supposed to be delivered. Therefore, it finally reached the stage not in the theater it was planned for. The premiere took place in London. I received a very large number of responses, which was unexpected. People were amazed at the mundaneness of the things I was talking about. Because war takes place without slow music in the background and big dialogues like in Hamlet. War is a collection of emotions that reinforce our tendencies. Therefore, for example, I touch on the topic of abuse and other social phenomena that have not disappeared anywhere. Why is this war happening to us, the residents of a developed country in the center of Europe? I will probably write many more plays in search of an answer to this question.
