Goysum

The play "Goysum" is a dynamic reinterpretation of Heinrich von Kleist's classic play "The Broken Jar". What begins as a petty village dispute over broken dishes during a storm quickly escalates into an absurd trial. The more the judge tries to find the guilty party, the more the investigation becomes a mirror, reflecting the cracks in the judicial system itself and the hidden sins of each witness. This is a story about how an inconvenient truth tries to break through the rubble of bureaucracy and human cunning.

Absurd trial and cracks in justice: a classic in the vision of Uryvsky's students

Why will this evening be a special discovery for you? “Goyzum” is the work of director Tetyana Kostinyuk, a student of the legendary Ivan Uryvskyi’s course.

This is an ideal plan for those who want to see how young direction gives a classic plot sharpness, drive, and modern nerve, using Yuri Andrukhovych's translation.

Watching the performance will help you breathe and reduce your stress level through intellectual humor and detective intrigue. These are your "anti-weekends", where in 70 minutes you will live the entire life of a small village entangled in its own lies. Going out to such an event is an opportunity to support young artists and enjoy the aesthetics that are cultivated by the masters of the modern stage - Ivan Uryvsky and Akmal Guryezov. The performance proves: a broken jug is just the beginning of a big game, where much more is at stake than just a piece of clay.
