Конотопська відьма / Konotopská čarodějnice
“...In the dark forest, a black cloud looms,
Where unholy spirits stir.
Walk on through that dark forest...
Walk on through that dark forest...”
“The Konotop Witch” (“Konotopska Vidma”) — the high-profile premiere by MODERN THEATRE, based on the satirical fantasy novella of the same name by Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko, directed by Dmytro Rachkovskyi. In July 2026, the renowned Ukrainian company sets off on a tour of Polish cities to bring audiences an unforgettable show.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
What happens when you combine ancient Ukrainian myths, Konotop’s signature humor and a bold, modern take on a classic? The line between fiction and reality dissolves, and the viewer is drawn into a whirl of mystical phantasmagoria. This is not just a comedy — it is a fairy tale for adults with a very unexpected and hard-hitting ending.
“...And who is he, that sotnyk Zabriokha? A fool, that’s who. A Konotop fool? No, a real one... And Pistriak? A devil... A real one too? Who knows... Only the witch could tell...”
