About the show
"The Konotop Witch" in Lisbon
The Lisbon performance of "The Konotop Witch" is a meeting with theater that speaks plainly. Ivan Uryvskyi's 2023 Kyiv production reads the classic plot as a contemporary commentary on faith, strength, and responsibility.
The folkloric base is set against a hard modern edge. In a minimalist space, light, shadow, and sound create tension, while the actors' movement shapes a sense of inevitable choice between Light and Darkness.
Why you should see it
- A stage that acts as a public tribune, not decoration.
- A strong conflict that holds attention to the end.
- Precise visual language and symbolism.
- Music that sharpens the drama.
