Anastasiia Kosodii is a Ukrainian Playwright and director based in Berlin. Also a co-founder of the Theater of Playwrights (Kyiv), her plays have been read and performed in theatres across Ukraine and Europe. 

Before the full-scale Russian invasion, Anastasiia often worked with NGOs in Eastern Ukraine in towns on the frontline. 

Her international work has been presented at Maxim Gorki Theater (Berlin), Münchner Kammerspiele Theater and National Theater Mannheim, where she became Resident Playwright in 2022. 

Her play How to Talk to the Dead (Wie man mit Toten spricht) opened in Mannheim in April 2023 to critical acclaim: “Kosodii's undeniable ability to portray the human condition and protect it from theatrical affectation ultimately yields in an aesthetic quality that encompasses both moral claim and political statement.” Mannheimer Morgen
