The Witch of Konotop

About the show

"The Konotop Witch" in Warsaw!

"The Konotop Witch" is not just a performance but a cultural phenomenon that leaves a powerful aftertaste. Based on Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko's classic story, the production stirred the Ukrainian театральный landscape and gained international resonance - and now Warsaw audiences can experience it too.

Director Ivan Uryvskyi boldly blends Ukrainian folklore, mysticism, and contemporary social conflicts, creating a deep, multi-layered staging. Grotesque and tragedy, humor and silence, ritual and modernity work as a single mechanism and keep you engaged to the final minute.

First shown in Kyiv in 2023 at the Ivan Franko National Theater, the production explores themes of faith, female strength, superstition, social pressure, and the global choice between Light and Darkness. That is why it feels relevant both for Ukrainians abroad and for anyone looking for powerful theater stories.
