A proposito dell'evento

"The Witch of Konotop" was premiered at the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theatre on April 28, 2023. Directed by Ivan Uryvskyi, the play adapts Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko’s satirical comedy, blending folklore with contemporary themes of power, honesty, and women’s struggle for equality. The minimalist set design by Tetiana Ovsiichuk, the expressive choreography by Olha Semioshkina and folk-inspired songs are presented in Susanna Karpenko's authorial interpretation and they add depth and authenticity to the performance.This timeless story, filled with humor and archetypal conflicts between light and darkness, captivates audiences with its sharp cultural and emotional resonance.
