Light in Darkness

On February 24, 2022, at 5:00 in the morning, Vladyslav and Veronika were awakened by the sounds of unfamiliar explosions. Their phones were inundated with news and calls from family and friends. As they left their home, venturing into the unknown amidst the missiles and sirens, Vladyslav and Veronika felt the shadow and darkness of a new reality envelop them.

"Light in Darkness" is the real-life story that Veronika and Vladyslav are experiencing. Stepping onto the stage, they relive those moments over and over again, filled with courage, faith, fear of the unknown, support, and the fight for life.

War deprives people of the ability to see their loved ones, family, and friends. They can't embrace them, feel their warmth—there's a wall between them, dividing them. The war still continues.
