Becoming an artist
Petro Sova is a Ukrainian theater and film actor who has been performing on the stage of the Lesya Ukrainka National Academic Drama Theater in Kyiv since 2012. No one in Petro's family was professionally connected with creativity and the art industry. His parents had technical education and demonstrated good physical training, and were excellent athletes. Despite this, creative energy always raged in the house. His father composed poems, comedies, and poems in moments of inspiration. His mother turned ordinary products into real culinary works of art. Petro's grandmother loved music and enchanted with her performance of famous songs. And his grandfather, thanks to his ability to find a common language with everyone, invariably became the soul and leader of any company. As a child, together with his younger brother Dmitry, the future star of the stage attended a children's musical theater, which was directed by Tatyana Mykhailivna Pogrebnyak.
