The Konotop Witch
The play "The Konotop Witch" is a real explosion of Ukrainian humor and satire based on the immortal masterpiece of Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko. In the Kyiv theater "Berehynia" the classic story about the tyranny of the centurion Zabryokha and the cunning of the clerk Pistryak blooms with new colors. Here mysticism is intertwined with everyday burlesque, and witty jokes hit the mark, ridiculing human vices that seem to have not changed for centuries. This is a vivid performance where folklore traditions come to life in a modern rhythm, creating the atmosphere of real Konotop adventures.
