ANTONINA

Part 1: A Text For Theater

An autobiographical monologue written by Antonina Crimea in a single breathless sitting from a combat position in the trenches. A meditation on presence; the piece creates a rare space where the "here and now" of the front line and the "one time there" of the theater hall collide.

Part 2: Antonina

Antonina Crimea, a non-binary soldier, faces the ultimate mirror: a dialogue with "T", the civilian they were before the invasion. Stripping away the myths about combat, Antonina reveals the trenches as a brutal equalizer-a place where identity is stripped back and a kinship deeper than blood is forged.
