THE WITCH OF KONOTOP — TOUR 2027
The very same “The Witch of Konotop”,
based on the novella by Hryhorii
Kvitka-Osnovianenko, for which it is
almost impossible to get tickets in time.
Following its resounding success in Ukraine,
the production embarked on an international
tour and has already conquered stages
across Europe, the United Kingdom and
the United States, playing to full houses
and sold-out audiences. In 2027, the
legendary production continues its journey
around the world.
“The Witch of Konotop” is one of the most
talked-about theatrical events of recent
years, created by director Ivan Uryvskyi at
the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama
Theatre and based on the novella of the
same name by Hryhorii
Kvitka-Osnovianenko.
This is not simply a classic story. It is a
contemporary theatrical interpretation in
which Ukrainian folklore, mysticism and
humour intertwine with themes of choice,
freedom, human nature, faith and strength
of spirit. The production combines tradition
with an innovative theatrical style, creating
an atmosphere that captivates the audience
from the very first minutes and does not let
go until the finale.
Minimalist scenography, powerful acting,
striking lighting design and music transform
every scene into a true theatrical spectacle
that evokes strong emotions and leaves a
lasting impression.
“The Witch of Konotop” has become a true
cultural phenomenon of modern Ukraine
and has gained recognition far beyond its
borders. It is a production people talk about,
recommend and want to experience with
their own eyes.
