Everglow
On February 24, 2022, at five o’clock in the morning, Vladyslav Detiuchenko and Veronika Rakitina were awakened by the unfamiliar sound of explosions. Their phones were flooded with news and calls from family and friends. Leaving their home and stepping into the unknown, with missiles and sirens surrounding them, Vladyslav and Veronika felt the shadow and darkness of a new reality closing in.
Everglow is the true story that Vladyslav and Veronika have lived through. Each time they step onto the stage, they relive those very moments—filled with faith, fear of the unknown, support, and the fight for life.
War deprives people of the chance to see their loved ones, their families, and their friends. It denies them the warmth of an embrace—placing a wall between them that cannot be crossed. And the war is still not over.
Vladyslav dedicates this performance to all refugees who were forced to leave their homes and who endured separation from their loved ones, their families, and their homeland.
