The famous “The Witch of Konotop”, based on the novel by Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko, is a show for which it is almost impossible to get tickets in time. After immense success in Ukraine, the show went on an international tour and has already conquered stages across Europe, the UK, and the United States, playing to sold-out houses at every performance. In 2027, this legendary production continues its journey around the world.

“The Witch of Konotop” is one of the most significant theatrical events of recent years. Directed by Ivan Uryvskyi at the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theatre in Kyiv, it is inspired by Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko's eponymous novel. This is not simply a classic story. It is a contemporary theatrical interpretation where Ukrainian folklore, mysticism, and humour blend with themes of choice, freedom, human nature, faith, and inner strength. The staging combines tradition with innovative theatrical language, creating an atmosphere that captivates the audience from the very first minutes and holds them until the denouement. Minimalist set design, remarkable acting, striking lighting, and enchanting music transform each scene into a true theatrical spectacle, evoking deep emotions and leaving a lasting impression.

“The Witch of Konotop” has become a true cultural phenomenon in contemporary Ukraine and has gained recognition far beyond its borders. It is a show everyone talks about, recommends, and absolutely must experience in person.
