About the play

about those who had to live

“…and since then he has become “fierce”
Short that “February”.
Changed the name forever
I have forgotten about the pity! ”

All of Europe is covered in blood. Cities are on fire.
Hundreds of thousands of people die under bullets and shells. They die of hunger and disease.
Poles and Swedes are at war. Germans and French.
Czechs and Danes. Everyone is at war.
There is a war that Europe has never seen before.
30 years of war. 1610-1648.
Catholics vs Protestants. Two different beliefs in the same God. And the war between them.
A war that destroys age boundaries and rules.

And through this terrible war, through the shots, suffering and death, the marketer Anna Firling, nicknamed Mother Courage for her desperation, stretches. She walks the roads of war with her children and a market cart loaded with various goods…
And one by one he loses his children.
But she can no longer give up the war. In war, now the whole meaning of her life.
She needs to go trade again and again where blood is shed and explosions are heard …

And suddenly – an unusually loud and eerie explosion. It is an explosion that destroys all the laws of space and time and transports Mother Courage from her 30-year war to the terrible war of today.

She finds herself at “zero” – where the sniper February is going to the combat mission. Yesterday’s student-historian Sashko Melnyk. He has an order – to arrive on time at the “point” and kill the hated enemy.

Unexpected meeting: Sniper is a fierce and strange woman with a cart full of various shops of the 17th century. Combat mission is under threat!

Each of these two has his own war, his own losses, his own history.
Will they be able to hear and understand each other? Will they be able to preserve the human war that no war has been able to burn in their hearts?

The chronicle of one combat mission will answer these questions.
