Fringe 2025

Someone Like Me is a physical solo performance by Nina Khyzhna of NAFTA Theatre from Kharkiv. The performance art show takes place from 30 July to 10 August at 18.40 at Studio Two George Square. On 3 and 8 August here will be discussions with the artistic team at AUGB Edinburgh on Royal Terrace. More details here. The performance tells the story of the journey of a disembodied person through the bodies of others. Nina learns the experiences of those who meet with fear day after day and find ways to resist it. Through the state of their muscles, through their movements, habits and feelings, the creature learns the experiences of people who have to be in danger caused by war. The physical condition and movements of these people reflect their stress, pain, sadness, new skills of fighting and survival, but also pleasure, humour, thirst. This show contains distressing themes or potential triggering these with strong language. 16+ Tickets here.
