Khojaly - A Play About Surviving</>gives a voice to the people whose lives were changed forever by the massacre that took place in February 1992 of the Azerbaijani inhabitants of Khojaly, a community in Nagorno-Karabakh riven by a war that lasted from 1988 to 1994. This year is the 30th anniversary of the tragedy. Created by Debunk Theatre from the words and testimony of the survivors via interview workshops with our creative team in Azerbaijan, an ensemble of six actors takes to the stage to step forward and tell their personal stories in the form of a testimonial drama about escape and exile - and hope. At the same time, the characters share how normal life was in their hometown before the violence, how the different communities came together - and why today they still keep hope in their hearts.
