Injection Of Happiness

Play by Yevhen Kurman. The story of an unnamed individual. Narcodrama.

Directed by Yevhen Kurman. Duration of the performance – 55 minutes. Premiere in 2000.

The protagonist of the play is an unnamed individual. A person who, by using drugs, consciously erases themselves from the list of humans as such. Throughout the story, this character tries to explain to all people that their fabricated political, economic, and artistic models of life are simply absurd! An absurdity that has led to the birth of such misery as drug addiction, which is a defensive reaction of young individuals to the real world… Who is to blame? How to live? What’s the way out? Our “hero” offers his own solution. But what is it?

In 2002, the play became a laureate of the international monodrama festival “Vidlunnya” in Kyiv. It was presented in Poland and Russia as well.
