An opportunity to see a new interpretation of Ivan Franko's legendary drama, where the eternal love triangle becomes a platform for searching for inner harmony and answers to complex questions of existence.

"Stolen Happiness": a drama about finding God within oneself

The phenomenon of "Stolen Happiness" has not left viewers indifferent for over 130 years, because in this story it is impossible to clearly divide the heroes into "good" and "bad".
