Description:
*Drama Queen - a person who habitually responds to situations in a melodramatic way. 

“This is the story about how this war turned me into a drama queen.

How to survive exile, fear, loneliness, failed love and the breakup of an eight-year relationship? This performance is based on my memories as a refugee, the story of how I found myself in Riga and the emotional twists and turns on my way to that," says Sofija Melnikova, the play's playwright and main actress.

The show is in Ukrainian and Russian with subtitles in Latvian and English.
