Production Details / Press Releases

Combining music, poetry, dance and film, this unique theatre event is a powerful exploration of love versus totalitarianism and the personal conflicts of making art in time of war.

Bunker Cabaret is a new performance by Hooligan Art Community which took its starting point in the bomb shelters of Kyiv. Combining music, poetry, dance and film, this unique theatre event is a powerful exploration of love versus totalitarianism, and the personal conflicts of making art in a time of war. By turns ironic, raw, funny and devastating, the performance starkly reveals the artists’ individual experiences of the war while communicating a shared humanity, creating beautiful moments of connection between artists and audiences.

Hooligan Art Community is an independent theatre company established in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2019. They make performances in non-traditional spaces that explore the dynamic relationship between actor and audience. The group has worked entirely outside of the state theatre system creating work that advocates for freedom of expression and equality. On 24 February 2022, the full-scale russian invasion brought war to all of Ukraine. The company’s work was disassembled overnight. On 18 August 2022, the artists reunited in the UK to create Bunker Cabaret, playing sold out shows in London, Redruth, Eastleigh and Berlin. Hooligan Art Community’s current tour of Bunker Cabaret marks the one year anniversary of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
