About the show
"The Konotop Witch" in Munich
"The Konotop Witch" in Munich is more than a touring performance. It is a vivid reinterpretation of Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko’s classic story, blending Ukrainian folklore with satire and psychological drama. The production has already become a cultural event in Ukraine and resonated strongly with European audiences.
Director Ivan Uryvskyi builds a layered stage language where myth and modernity speak together. The audience sees not only a tale about witchcraft, but a drama about fear, freedom of choice, and responsibility. Visual design, rhythm, light, and music create a deep immersive effect.
The premiere took place in Kyiv in 2023 at the Ivan Franko National Theater. The performance explores faith, women’s strength, social pressure, and the conflict between Light and Darkness. That is why it feels so relevant to today’s viewers.
What to expect
- An atmosphere of Ukrainian mysticism and symbolism.
- Stage design with authentic sound and light projections.
- Sharp social subtexts that echo the present day.
- Powerful acting that holds the tension to the finale.
