CHERKASY WAS THE FIRST TO SEE “DUB”

As it had been announced earlier, the citizens of Cherkasy were the first to see the Polish-Ukrainian theatrical performance “Dub”, which was staged by the representatives of the sister-cities – Cherkasy and Bygdoszcz.

On 2 February at 3 p.m. the Community Centre named after Kulyk was rather crowded. Most of the audience was the senior students, but there were also a lot of adults, as well as representatives of the Polish community in Cherkasy. Among the guests there was I.Kilomiiets, a Deputy Mayor,  I.Voloshyn, the Head of the City Department for Education and Humanitarian Policy, representatives of the Department of Methodology, etc. About 30 percent of the audience was the students and teachers of First City Gymnasia.

The theatrical performance was unforgettable. It had a lot of allegory, grotesque, pantomime, etc. Part of the play was dedicated to the events of Maidan. The audience was mesmerized with the imagery of the three-year-old events. The out-of-the-box solutions of the Polish producer Andrzej Struj captivated the audience and took everybody to the whirl of turbulent events of the contemporary history.

The storm of applause was a true gift for the young actors from Ukraine and Poland. The Head of the Department for Education I.Voloshyn expressed his appreciation and thanked all the participants of the project. He also invited the guests to come to Cherkasy again and bring new projects.

Tomorrow the theatrical group will stage the performance in the city of Kropyvnytskyi.
