THE TRUMPETER
By Inna Goncharvoa
Poems by Peter Mironov
Translated by John Farndon
Directed by János Szász.
The Trumpeter, the last surviving member of a military band, shelters from Russian bombardment in 2022 below the steelworks of Mariupol in Inna Goncharova’s valiant attempt to capture the terrible essence of war.
An immersive play using the entire 15,000 square feet of Dupont Underground.
The Ukrainian
Exhibition
See behind the scenes of The Trumpeter and explore photographs from United Help Ukraine and Ukraine House about the realities of war.
Turning War Into Art: This includes an artist reclamation of a Russian drone that was shot down by Ukranian forces with over a 14 foot wingspan. This is what we do when we are attacked, we turn it into art.
