Country of Origin: Ukraine
Trolls prowl and conflicts rage in online propaganda. People force themselves across borders creating an icy hot international stalemate. Thousands take to the streets demanding transparency and change.
This is the context for TseSho? / What’s That?, a super-charged puppet cabaret of real time events and Facebook feeds, iconic Ukrainian poetry, catchy vamps, and improvised action.
