King Oedipus

Theatre on Podil Kyiv, Andreevsky Descent, 20-B

The play Oedipus Rex at the Podil Theater is a modern take on the classics, transformed into a driving tragicomic in the style of cyberpunk. The production helps to qualitatively switch from routine and immerse yourself in a dynamic detective story, where ancient myths come to life in neon light.

What's special about this show?

Sometimes you just want to turn off your phone and forget about the endless stream of news. This performance is the perfect way to reduce stress levels by immersing yourself in a different reality. Instead of a dry textbook retelling, you get a living story about power, fate, and the search for truth. Choose Numotamo, get tickets to "Oedipus Rex" and allow yourself real anti-everyday fun in the company of talented actors.

Antique detective in the style of the future

Director David Petrosyan has turned Sophocles's standard tragedy into a visual attraction. There are no boring white togas here - only a cyberpunk aesthetic that strangely but aptly resonates with our time. This is a real ancient Greek detective, where the main character investigates the causes of the crisis in his own city. You don't have to worry about the complexity of the text: the language of the play is lively and understandable, and the pace will not let you get distracted for a moment. This is a great opportunity to go out into the world and replenish your treasury of memories with something truly valuable.

We are planning to launch together with Numotamo.com

If you don't know where to go, Kyiv surprises with new formats every time, but the Podil Theater remains a place of strength for those who appreciate quality. It is worth buying tickets for "Oedipus Rex" in advance to reserve the best view of the stage. The poster on Numotamo.com will always suggest options for recharging when you feel like you "can't take it anymore" and you urgently need to breathe a sigh of relief.

Theatre on Podil: history and a new look

The Kyiv Drama Theatre on Podil is conveniently located at Andriyivskyi Uzviz, 20-B, in the very heart of Kyiv. The building stands out from the rest, and that's normal: it's about art. The theatre opened in 1987. Since then, it has been managed by the People's Artist of Ukraine Vitaly Malakhov - he is the main inspiration there.

Do you remember the controversy over the new look? Yes, the building has been renovated, but this has not prevented the theatre from gathering its loyal fans. On the contrary - the number of friends of the theatre is growing every day. After all, it's about experience, not about walls, right?

Modern comfort for your rest

The main hall of the theater is ready to accommodate up to 253 people, and there is room for another 50 in the theater lounge. Do you want to get out into the world without worrying about the details? The theater has taken care of this: there is both sign language and audio description. This is not just unique for Kyiv, it is respect for each visitor.

The latest technologies are combined with minimalism here, so nothing unnecessary distracts from the event. The stage has become larger, made according to European standards. This means that you can see the actors clearly, and you can hear the sound as if they were next to you, without unnecessary clutter. All this attracts foreign groups as well - interesting guests often visit there.

What events await you at the theater?

The schedule of the Kyiv Drama Theater on Podil is always full of options to forget about everyday life. Here you will find more than 50 productions: both classics that you know by heart and modern plays that will make you think.

Sometimes you can come across nice bonuses: buy tickets at a special price or even get a second one for free. Follow the announcements, and Numotamo will help you not to miss these "anti-everyday" surprises.

The theater team is not just actors, they are people who raise important questions. Their work has repeatedly received recognition at world festivals, for example, in Edinburgh. This means that you will see a quality level that is appreciated far beyond Kyiv.

There are many famous names among the cast: Bohdan Benyuk, Timur Polyansky, Volodymyr Goryansky. In addition to performances, there are often concerts, interesting master classes and other creative events.
