Theater – Nieves Rodríguez Rodríguez with «My Winter Dream» at the Insular Theater Hall, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Year 2014. The family of Yaryna is forced to leave their home in Ukraine and embark on a long journey towards Stockholm, in search of a safe place to rebuild their life. After months of waiting, they appear before a Swedish official who will decide their future. That same day, Yaryna falls into a deep sleep: the resignation syndrome, a little-known condition that affects children after extreme situations, a disconnection from the world as a response to fear and uncertainty.
Through Yaryna's voice, we accompany her family in their daily life: her sister saves to buy her a bicycle, her parents maintain hope, and life continues amidst simple gestures and silences filled with love.
Seven years later, Yaryna, now a teenager, decides to write a diary about that experience, while her country faces war again. My Winter Dream is a moving story about tenderness, family resilience, and the ability to build a future through care, even amidst fragility.
