In this episode, we welcome Ukrainian playwright, theater translator, and scholar Anna Halas. We explore the impact of war on personal identity through her affecting play, CHRONICLES OF A LOST SOUL. After a powerful reading, we discuss with Anna the evolution of Ukrainian theater, the challenges of writing about trauma, and the importance of translating Ukrainian voices for a global audience amid ongoing conflict.
