About the show
"The Konotop Witch" in Barcelona
"The Konotop Witch" in Barcelona is more than a tour stop - it is a cultural statement. Directed by Ivan Uryvskyi and created in Kyiv in 2023 at the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater, the production brings a classic story into today’s sharp questions.
Ukrainian folklore and mysticism are intertwined with themes of fear, social pressure, and the right to choose. Minimalist scenography, light, and sound build a tense atmosphere, while the acting guides the audience through the conflict between Light and Darkness.
Why you should see it
- A strong directing concept with a public focus.
- A blend of folklore, mysticism, and modern meaning.
- Restrained visuals that amplify emotion.
- Music and lighting that sustain tension.
