The play “Luckless” is the most popular dramatic work of one of the founders of the Ukrainian professional theater, an actor, director, playwright Ivan Karpenko-Kary. Besides, the play is considered to be a national heritage in general. There is a love triangle Varka-Hnat-Sofia at the heart of the story. Their relationship is the main storyline of the drama.

by the novel of Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko

Director: Ivan Uryvskyi

For me, the main theme of the play is the choice between two forces - Light and Darkness.

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...
