Theater Performance "Hutsulka Ksenya"

If you're looking for bright emotions, music, and a touch of Hutsul magic — this performance "Hutsulka Ksenya" is for you. A classic musical comedy by the Ternopil Academic Drama Theater awaits you, featuring an engaging story with touches of humor, love, and Carpathian flavor.

A rich American with relatives arrives in Vorokhta — and everything seems fine, but there’s one condition in the will: the heir Yaro will only inherit the money if he marries a Ukrainian woman. A mix-up begins, with introductions, jealousy, fortune-telling, dances with the Hutsuls — and of course, unexpected love. Will Hutsulka Ksenya leave her native mountains for Yaro? You'll find out at the theater.

Premiere of the Documentary Film "Nice Ladies"
