The performance "The History of Vlad" in Odessa
– a large-scale Ukrainian musical, centered on a love story that can overcome even death. The premiere of the play took place at a time when the country itself is experiencing turning points, and the struggle of good and evil has ceased to be just a symbolic theme of art and has become a reality of everyday choice. The production is based on the emotional story of Vlad III and his beloved. At the same time, this is not a classical theatrical interpretation, but a modern musical show created according to an original author's concept. The project became the first musical of this scale to be born on the Ukrainian stage in two decades. The following took part in the creation of the production:
producer Lyudmila Nechaeva;
composer Pol Solonar;
production director and choreographer Pavlo Ivlyushkin.
The roles are performed by: Valery Gayfullin, Olena Yashchenko, Maksym Vishtalyuk, Anna Khodorovskaya, Oleksandr Kabakov, Mykhailo Ignatov, Anna Morgunova, Volodymyr Kudlay, Oleksandr Marchenko, Lyusyne Oganesyan, Maria Gorobets and others.
A story that encourages exploration of the depths of the human soul
The History of Vlad offers a completely different take on the famous legend. It lacks the gloomy atmosphere of Bram Stoker's Gothic novel - the audience is presented with a new dramatic story that does not repeat any of the previous interpretations. The first act takes us to the harsh world of medieval Wallachia, while the events of the second take place in modern London.

The very title of the play reveals its main idea: "The History of Vlad" is a combination of light and darkness, a story about a monster in which lives a person with a wounded soul and a big heart.


The main character is a figure on the verge of contradictions. Having betrayed God, he himself becomes betrayed and doomed to eternal wanderings in search of the soul of his lost beloved in the world of the living. Through this story, the creators convey to the audience the main idea of the production: love is stronger than death. But at the same time, another, much more complex question arises: what exactly awakens the light and dark sides in a person? What can make the world better? The musical pushes the audience to reflect and invites them to look into their own souls to find the answer to the question of the true nature of evil - and to understand that its source is often hidden in the person himself.


The performance uses modern 3D Mapping technology, which creates a unique visual space and adds new expressiveness to the eternal story. We are waiting for you!
