About the performance: The history of Ukraine is told through the prism of the fate of Taras Shevchenko, a great writer, painter, prisoner of labour camps, and spiritual leader of the Ukrainian nation. The Lviv artists will present the dramatic experiences and the situation of the Ukrainian people’s permanent struggle for state independence, which is so topical today in the era of dramatic war events in Ukraine. The colourful performance will make use of stilts, mobile machines, burning scenographic elements, and pyrotechnic effects.
About the theater: Lviv Voskresinnia Theatre was established in 1990 on the wave of social transformations and Ukraine’s regained independence. The new stage was created as a result of an agreement between young actors from different Ukrainian towns who were not fully satisfied with the previously existing “slightly” academic theatre.
Since 1996, the theatre has specialized in open-air productions. The boldness and spectacular style of performances, combined with acting mastery, have brought the theatre popularity and the appreciation of the audience.
