Information. “Letters to an unknown friend from New York” is a large-scale Ukrainian social project, the genre is interactive documentation: the real life of frontline settlements in a multimedia performance-promenade.
The director and children-actors managed to create an eloquent performance that helps to understand and feel life during the war.
The performance-promenade intertwines personal and historical, cultural and industrial origins. They appear in a letter from an unfamiliar friend from New York. Especially for the tour, one of the young actors wrote a musical invitation in the rap style.

The boy lives in Novhorodske, where he plays in the performance-promenade with all children-actors.
