How Ukrainian Actors Tell Tales of War Onstage

The war in Ukraine has been raging for more than a year, displacing millions of people and destroying countless cultural sites. But some Ukrainian actors have not given up on their art and their homeland. They have taken their stories of war to the stage, performing in a play that depicts the human cost of the conflict.

The play is called Special Operation, named after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine. It was written by Anatoli Zinovenko, a well-known actor back in his homeland. He and his wife Tetyana – who also stars in the play – were forced to flee Ukraine ten days into Russia’s invasion, after seeing “rockets and helicopters swirling” above their Kyiv home.

“It was impossible to understand, no one believed that there would be a war, but it happened,” said 62-year-old Zinovenko, who has starred in several Ukrainian films, series and performances. The actor had not written a play before, but when he and his family found safety in Denmark, he said that "everything that was in my heart, it all came out on paper".

“Everything I heard, saw and understood. I wanted to put it all on paper,” he said.

The play tells the story of two Ukrainian women who become the sole survivors of a Russian attack on their village. A Russian soldier, injured and abandoned by his platoon, breaks into their home, forcing the women to decide whether to offer him help or exact revenge. Zinovenko, who plays the Russian soldier, calls it a tale of "heroism, humanity and spirituality".

“The women, who have switched places with this occupier, have the opportunity to kill him, but they do not kill him. Why? Because they are not capable of it,” he said.

The play opened in Denmark’s second-largest city Aarhus on Saturday evening. It is the sixteenth performance of Special Operation in Denmark. Organisers described the play as building a “cultural bridge” between Ukraine and Denmark, which has welcomed some 30,000 Ukrainian refugees since the war began in February 2022. Profits will be donated to humanitarian organisations working in Ukraine.

“We in Denmark only know about this war from the media, from high electricity prices or high food prices,” said the head of the Katapult Theatre, Torben Dahl. "What we can do is make people in Denmark aware of this situation on a more human level".

According to the UN cultural agency UNESCO, over 250 cultural sites have been damaged in the war including the Mariupol Theatre, destroyed by an airstrike while sheltering civilians. “A lot of people of art are now at the front. Many of my acquaintances are fighting,” said Zinovenko, whose younger brother is also on the front lines. "I hope that we will perform the play not only in Denmark, of course in Ukraine as well".

The play is a powerful reminder of the resilience and courage of the Ukrainian people, who are fighting for their freedom and dignity against a brutal aggressor. It is also a testament to the power of art and culture to heal wounds and inspire hope.

After the trauma of the September 11, 2001 attacks, American journalists seeking links with the Muslim community found solace in an imam at the Falls Church mosque in suburban Washington. Anwar al-Awlaki, a tall, bearded young man in traditional dress, hid his mischievous gaze behind round glasses. It was hard not to be seduced by this 30-year-old imam, who had also won the hearts of the American army. Al-Awlaki spoke with reason and moderation, proclaiming: "We are not here to destroy, but to build. We are a bridge between Americans and the billions of Muslims around the world". Fourteen years later, Chérif Kouachi, one of the two brothers responsible for the murderous attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, claimed to be Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki. At the time of the hostage-taking in Dammartin-en-Goële (Seine-et-Marne), Kouachi, in contact with a French TV station, revealed: "I, Chérif Kouachi, was sent by al-Qaeda to Yemen. I went there, and it was Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki who financed me". What had happened? How had the imam who had once charmed the American press become the instigator of "French 9/11", sparking worldwide condemnation? The answer lies in his background. Anwar al-Awlaki had a deep understanding of both societies. His life oscillated between the Crescent of Islam and the golden arches of McDonald's. The first seven years of his life in New Mexico, where he was born in 1971, had made him a true American child. From his Yemeni adolescence, he had acquired an unshakeable faith and an exceptional knowledge of the Koran, which he could practically recite from beginning to end. In Yemen, alongside his father, a high-ranking civil servant and close associate of the redoubtable President Ali Abdullah Saleh, he had become familiar with the subtleties of Yemeni political life, one of the most complex in the world. The winds of jihad were blowing from Afghanistan, where Islamist warriors were fighting against the Soviet Red Army, with the support in arms and the blessing in dollars of the Americans. The al-Awlaki family watched the first films depicting the exploits of the Afghan mujahideen, and young Anwar learned to love these heroes who left Yemen to find martyrdom in Afghanistan. Radicalized in Denver Al-Awlaki's radicalization began after his return to the United States. As imam at mosques in Denver and San Diego, he preached a moderate form of Islam, but became silently radicalized, influenced by the teachings of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and the latent racism of American society. The influential role of the Internet Al-Awlaki's transition from influential imam to online propagandist was catalyzed by the emergence of the Internet. Using his mastery of English and powerful oratory skills, he began delivering sermons and lectures over the Internet, attracting a global audience. His digital presence and mastery of social media platforms enabled him to reach individuals vulnerable to extremist ideologies, including Chérif Kouachi and other would-be terrorists. From charisma to infamy Al-Awlaki's transformation culminated in his involvement with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQPA). He became an influential figure, advocating violence and jihad against the West. His fiery speeches and online presence attracted a following, leading him to be considered a major
