The second original production by the TUT (Teens Ukraine Theatre) laboratory for Ukrainian teens and young adults refugees. This production is a documentary verbatim theater piece centered on the personal stories and struggles of a group of 14 young adults who were all forced to leave Ukraine at the beginning of the Russian full scale invasion. As the war still goes on, these young individuals find themselves in New York city still searching for answers in their self identification as new versions of themselves, unable to go back or fully assimilate in the new space.
In Through The Doorway Out is a reflection of their continuous exploration of who they are after the sold-out run of the first show Are We There Yet, now focusing on the topics of continuation and their growth from a place of loss and the desire to go forward despite the difficult circumstances they faced at the beginning of their migration to New York.
We live in a multiple choice world, in which we have endless possibilities and doors to which we can’t always find the keys or know how to access them, doors into our dreams, our past, doors which we are forced to open despite our desires.
How do we know which one to open? What exactly is waiting behind these doors? Is it just a transition that separates us from the before and after? Is there a manual we can turn to to find the answers? The essence is in not losing the key and being able to be the key holder to your own doors.
