All Of My Sons

Arthur Miller

Director: Stanislav Moiseev

The plot of the play is based on the true story. The story of the family drama of the manufacturer once again confirms the universal law: “what goes around, comes around”. The family is waiting for a missing son to come back from war. They almost lost hope.

The true love between the bride of the missing pilot and his younger brother is condemned as shameful, treacherous and dangerous to the family welfare.

Adventurer

based on the play by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz "Career of Nykodym Dyzma"

Director: Dmytro Chyrypiuk

The plot and the course of events that happened to the main character Nykodym Dyzma is unreal and surreal to a certain extent. An average person from a small town moves from the periphery to the capital in search of a better life. He has neither education nor specialty, and the only thing he wants is to find a cushy job to live calmly and prosperously, if possible, with little effort. They say fools for luck, or God fell asleep on the job... But one day, accidentally (or not accidentally), he gets a letter of invitation to a social event...

Three Comrades

themed by E. M. Remarque`s novel

Director: Yuriy Odynokyy

All the novels by Remarque are soaked in the pain of the generation, which, after horrors of the First World War, survived the global crisis, moral impoverishment and political apocalypse. Our Sixtiers were brought up on his works. He has become the owner of the thoughts of the whole generation. During the “thaw” period, the first translations of Remarque appeared in the Soviet Union. His books were galloped over, his characters were induced to act, raised the inner freedom and inspired faith...

Peer Gynt

Henrik Ibsen

Director: Ivan Uryvskyi

Dedicated to Serhii Danchenko and Bohdan Stupka The dramatic poem “Peer Gynt” (1867) by Henrik Ibsen is considered to be one of the greatest achievements of the world drama. It seems to have absorbed all the cross-cutting issues and themes that have troubled humanity for centuries: what the meaning of human life is, what the sacramental “being yourself” means, how not to betray yourself in search of the true purpose, how to find the strength to resist a variety of temptations that are always somewhere near you. As a large-scale philosophical canvas implies, the plot of the play is expansive and...

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

Bertolt Brecht

Director: Dmytro Bogomazov

Berthold Brecht came up with the idea of his play in 1935, in America, in forced emigration. At that time, in his native country, in Germany, Nazism had already been ascending but no one knew how huge it would become. Brecht implemented his idea only six years later. In 1941, when the play was finished, Germany had already invaded most of continental Europe – a large-scale and bloody war was spreading across the world. Brecht foreboded the upcoming catastrophe and tried to warn about it. “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui” is a satirical anti-fascist pamphlet on Hitler and his...

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...
