Shevchenko's "Kateryna", directed by Serhii Pavliuk, tells the story of a Ukrainian woman who, despite warnings, falls in love with a Russian soldier. Moskal goes on a campaign, promising to return, but ultimately fails to keep his word. Instead, he engages in robbing, raping, and killing. Kateryna gives birth to a son while her native village and family reject her. The play explores themes of love, waiting, contempt, exile, wandering, disappointment, and death. It also showcases traditional Ukrainian customs and rites, as well as the societal attitudes towards veiled women and the misfortune of children without parents. Through this production, Mykola Kulish's Kherson Regional Academic Music and Drama Theater and Mykolaiiv Academic Art Drama Theater highlight the Russian disdain for Ukrainians across the centuries, from the time of Kobzar to the present day.
