June 31 (project "Theatre in the Museum")

The play based on the novel by J.B. Priestley intertwines two worlds - modern and medieval - to unite the hearts of Sam, a romantic artist from the 21st century, with the dreamy Melicent, a princess from the time of King Arthur. In order to be together, the characters have to endure many trials, prove their faithfulness to their feelings, overcome the intrigues of the ladies of the court and the tricks of evil sorcerers... But is it scary to go out to fight a dragon if you can get not only a knightly title, but also the hand of your beloved as a reward?

The project is officially included in the European program "2018 - Year of Cultural Heritage in Europe".

The idea for the project which refers to a common episode in the history of Ukraine and the Scandinavian countries, emerged in 2016 at an international cultural exchange program in Ukraine.Curators Nik Dee-Dahlstrom (Sweden) and Olena Rosstalna (Ukraine) successfully presented various stages of the project (trainings, performances, scientific and pedagogical developments) in cultural and educational institutions in Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland. In 2018, the project became one of the winners of the Participatory Budget in Chernihiv. In the summer of 2018, the performance was presented at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, and in the fall in Chernihiv. The musical narrative "Ingigerd" also premiered as well.

Knights of the Round Table (J. Anouilh)

The darkness brought on by the evil sorcerer Merlin turns the lush and majestic kingdom of Camelot into a sleepy desert devoid of color, joy, and birdsong. Deceit and lies drive out of the hearts of Arthur's entourage all the pure and sincere things that once shone and flourished there. Darkness is about to overcome even the noblest... Can victory, courage, and true love overcome betrayal and meanness? Will the last sinless heart have the strength to dispel the darkness and show lost souls the way to salvation?

A Fan for Love (a strange love story based on the play by Yukio Mishima)

The play by the Japanese playwright is full of contradictions, riddles, and symbols. The human soul is surprisingly fragile and tender, and it is so easy to break with a lie. A soul broken by betrayal can never be made pure again. And promises that are fulfilled too late are worth no more than fallen autumn leaves that die under the feet of lonely people who expect nothing more than death. In the end, good and evil are very relative categories...

Our lives are full of interesting events, unforgettable meetings, dreams, feelings, and impressions. Some of them we quickly forget, but some remain forever. Perhaps there is more hidden in the old dusty attic than we think? Sometimes it takes just one look at a simple thing to make a beautiful picture of the past, immortal and eternally young, shine in bright colors.

A respectable family of wealthy Americans, the Otises, buy an old manor house in England, and along with the land and house, they inherit a grumpy and capricious ghost, Sir Simon Canterville, from the previous owners. The wayward spirit can't stand such abuse and begins to play tricks on the new tenants. The confrontation between the representatives of the Old and New Worlds begins!

Antigone (J. Anouilh)

The famous French playwright allows us to see one of the greatest tragedies of antiquity in a slightly different light. This is, first of all, a play about loneliness: loneliness in a crowd, loneliness in the silence of an empty room, loneliness on the eve of the most important choice in life, loneliness in the face of death... King Oedipus' daughter Antigone has to choose between her duty of honor and her own desires. Will she remain true to herself? And what does her young soul really want?

Odysseus, the hero of the Trojan War and the author of the Trojan Horse project, who helped the long-suffering Greeks finally win the victory under the impregnable walls of Ilium, returns home to his beloved wife Penelope after 20 years of wandering.

Widows (based on the play by S. Mrozek)

The tragicomedy Widows by Polish playwright S. Mrozek is a mysterious, funny and sad story about an unusual event that happened one day in a cafe.

Whose face is hidden under the mask?

CAROL (S. Mrozek)

An unusual tandem visits an ophthalmologist: a blind old man with a gun and his eccentric grandson. They desperately need to get a prescription for glasses to carry out a mysterious super-important mission, and they will stop at nothing to get it.

It would seem that the plot is quite simple, but under this ostentatious transparency lies something much more serious. The play raises questions of human decency, honesty, and integrity that are so relevant in our time.

Silence (Janine Worms)

The play Silence, based on the work of French writer and representative of the theater of the absurd Jeanine Worms, consists of nine miniatures united by the subtitle "tragedies in a minute". Aggressive and harsh, sometimes sarcastically ironic, the miniatures depict individual episodes of everyday life, filled with the idea of the absurdity of human existence. The characters of the work are trying to find their place in this world, to earn the right to happiness, but they do it in a rather unusual way, destroying not only their lives, but also the lives of those around them.

The play is performed by: Oleh Honchar, Kostiantyn Kaminskyi, Olha Melashenko, Tetiana Zolotarenko, Tetiana Kapitova, Olha Velychko, Lidiia Popova, Olha Sayko, Viktoriia Kravchenko, Liudmyla Makedon, Valentyna Dzhevago

Eternity and One More Day (M. Pavich)

Love that is stronger than death, human attempts to cross the boundaries of what God has allowed in order to get closer to the Creator, mystical coincidences of circumstances and events, actions that affect the lives of an entire generation, variability of the future... Everyone chooses a story to their own taste, composing elements of this non-linear work of Serbian genius at their own discretion, because the knowledge of eternity and truth is an intimate individual process. We do not impose our vision, but only lift the curtain a little.

The play is performed by: Kostiantyn Kaminskyi, Olha Melashenko, Tetiana Zolotarenko, Tetiana Kapitova, Olha Velychko, Olha Sayko, Viktoriia Kravchenko, Liudmyla Makedon, Valentyna Dzhevaha, Olena Rosstalna, Oksana Shkurat, Solomiia Makar
