We invite you to watch the touching play “Vis-à-vis” staged by NADT. This is an exciting story about two lonelinesses who accidentally met to feel true understanding even for a moment. The production is dedicated to the anniversary of the People's Artist of Ukraine Lidia Yaremchuk, who performs one of the main roles, giving the play special depth and emotional strength.

A conversation that changes more than it seems

The play “Vis-à-vis” – is an insightful melodrama for two actors based on a work by the contemporary Canadian playwright Norman Foster. At the center of the plot are two people who at first glance seem completely different: a writer and his housemaid. But one day an ordinary evening unexpectedly turns into an open conversation, revealing the most intimate feelings, memories, and unfulfilled dreams.

In fact, “Vis-à-vis” has a very simple but very life-like plot. Two lonely people, each with their losses, fears, and unfulfilled desires. But chance allows them to start speaking truly. Without masks, without social roles, without the usual bar’riers. The writer and his housemaid gradually reveal to each other what usually remains deeply inside.

A story about sincerity, loneliness, and human closeness

The play “Vis-à-vis” is filled with subtle humor that does not entertain for the sake of laughter, but helps to feel the bitter truth even deeper. It reminds us how difficult it is to be heard in a world where everyone is rushing and rarely stops to truly see the person next to them.

The director of the production, Hryhor Mane, emphasizes that the main idea of the play – is to be more attentive to those around us, because these people may turn out to be much deeper, kinder, and more important than it seems at first. And Lidia Yaremchuk notes that this story is valuable precisely for its honesty – it does not promise a happy ending but leaves behind something much more important: a feeling of true human closeness.
