That's How Things Are in Belgrade: Readings on Life in Exile

“Such Is Life” in Belgrade: Stories About a New Life in Exile

On October 7, Belgrade will host a charity documentary reading featuring the best pieces from “Such Is Life” about a new life in exile. The evening will feature stories about people who left their home countries, felt lost, and lost their familiar bearings, but still decided to stay in their new country and learn to live anew. These are stories about vulnerability, strength, and the endlessly complex yet fascinating attempts to find stability and a place for oneself in a changed reality.

Reading Participants

• Yulia Graut — actress, graduate of the Gogol School and GITIS, formerly with the Polish Theater in Moscow.
• Marina Baboshina — actress, winner of the “Golden Mask” award; she has performed at the Omsk Drama Theater and the Krasnoyarsk Youth Theater.

Director
