It was with The Witch of Konotop by Ivan Uryvskyi that the surge of interest in theater began during the full-scale invasion. To see the performance, audiences often travel to cities where the Ivan Franko Theater is on tour. And, sometimes even abroad! There are hardly any places left in Europe that the production, based on the novella by the classic Ukrainian author Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko, has not reached. Everywhere it goes, it draws full houses.
The signature feature of The Witch of Konotop is a monolithic, limewashed wall of a village khata, with 3 witches sitting on the porch. This was the joint creative invention of Ivan Uryvskyi and set and costume designer Tetiana Ovsiichuk.
At Ukraine WOW, the 7-meter decoration created by the theater team differs from the original in one detail: here in the window, you see a tumbleweed, which according to the script appears in another scene. All for the sake of your beautiful photos.
So sit with the witches and enjoy this exclusive opportunity.
