It's the early days of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and the residents of a small co-op community outside of Kyiv find themselves in increasingly desperate circumstances as they are surrounded by occupying Russian forces. Pinched between Bucha and Borodianka, cut off from aid, and unable to escape, their attempts at survival rely on connection: through catching a cellphone signal in the forest, building bonds with each other, and, ultimately, grasping new understandings of what it means to be Ukrainian. Weaving Shakespeare with both Ukrainian literary classics and contemporary works, and presenting innovative set designs, Volodymyr Rafeyenko's Signals of Being captivatingly stages a dramatic interpretation of a country at war today.
