So horrible that this happened right outside the theatre and after what was such an important week on the national stage. Glad that Oleksandr is recovering and doing better.

It has saddened us all greatly that an artist invited to Ireland by us, particularly an artist coming from a war zone for a brief moment of respite, should have experienced this ❤️
