All That Remains

All That Remains is a reflection on memory and loss based on true stories from the ongoing war in Ukraine. A woman who has lost her brother and is left with only a few of his belongings tries to make sense of what happened. The show weaves her story together with those of the volunteers (mostly women) who keep the army supplied with the basics that the state doesn’t provide, fellow soldiers haunted by memories, and the voice of her brother from mobile phone videos recorded at the frontline. Using documentary theatre and music, the show explores the absurdities of this unexpected war, in which families find themselves trying to buy bulletproof vests online and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacts soldiers’ relatives via Facebook. Most of all, this is a story about the shock of losing a loved one to armed conflict, and about finding the strength to live on.
