Ivan Franko

Director: Dmytro Bohomazov

“Stolen Happiness” by Ivan Franko, which is one of the most popular plays in Ukrainian literature and the most significant one for Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater, is staged again at the end of the anniversary 100th theatrical season. The new version suggested by the director Dmytro Bohomazov is fundamentally different from many well-known interpretations. The director presents the play, which is modern in terms of its stage language, and thus deviates from social and domestic, ethnographic details. The story of the triangle Mykola-Anna-Mykhailo is transformed into a multi-layered psychological parable not only about the impossibility of building happiness...

Richard ІІІ

William Shakespeare

Director: Avtandil Varsimashvili

One of the main topics for the authors of the performance was the meticulous study of the essence of dangerous and incomprehensible labyrinths of the psychology of a lonely person, humiliated both by nature and by others. There is the dialectics of transforming suffering into criminality and tyranny. Paradoxically, Richard's disability gives him inner freedom and a whimsical sense of power over people, in the director's interpretation. Richard is the hermit. He is deprived of real feelings. And as a skillful master of puppets and virtuoso actor, he starts the “fun” created by his sick mind. The thrill of the...
