Konotop Witch

Your chance to see a deep and unexpected reading of the classic, where Kvitka-Osnovyanenko's satire turns into a topical philosophical parable. "The Konotop Witch" in Poltava is an ideal opportunity for you to get out of the routine of everyday life, change the picture and immerse yourself in a world where a fairy tale borders on horror, and the choice between Light and Darkness becomes a personal challenge for everyone.

"The Konotop Witch" in Poltava: Witches, Power, and a Fatal Choice

We invite you to the KP "Palace of Leisure" for a performance that opens up the history of the town of Konotop and its inhabitants in a new way. This is not just a story about the narcissistic centurion Zabryokha, the cunning clerk Pistryak, and the treacherous Yavdokha Zubykha. In this version, the issues of Faith and the consequences of its loss come to the fore. You will see how laziness and accidental power in the hands of inappropriate people lead to disaster, and the renunciation of spiritual values turns a person into a powerless pawn in the hands of dark forces.

The performance skillfully draws parallels with modernity: the feeling of imminent war, the struggle for one's own interests, and natural disasters that become a metaphor for internal decline. This is a kind of "fairy tale with a terrible ending", which through mysticism and humor makes you think about serious political and spiritual meanings. For you, this is an opportunity to put down your gadgets and live a powerful visual and meaningful experience.
