Mariupol Drama Theatre

Rebuild this Ukrainian centre of culture and art which finally served as a shelter for hundreds of women, children, and families during the Russian invasion.

Mariupol Drama Theatre (Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theatre) was constructed in 1960 and located on the Theatre Square of Mariupol, UKraine. During the Russian attack on Mariupol, the theatre was used as a shelter for families. In front of and behind the theatre were large inscriptions drawn on the ground of "ДЕТИ" ("Children") for aviation pilots, but this did not stop the invaders. 

On March 16, the Russians dropped a powerful bomb on the Mariupol Drama Theatre. The building was destroyed and more than 600 human lives were lost. 

Our set is a small tribute to those that perished that day, and the ones who miraculously survived. Ukraine will not forget.
