THE NORMAL LIFE

A documentary performance of Ukrainian drama students about what "normal life" has meant to them since February 24, 2022.

There aren't just problems. Sometimes there's little joy, but that doesn't mean everything is bad.

There are good people both in the Czech Republic and in Ukraine. And there are those who think we are traitors. But not everyone thinks that. I often feel like I'm living a never-ending bad dream. But it isn't always bad. Prague is sometimes like a beautiful dream. And the perfumes at Sephora... Simply put: normal life.
