Premiere of the play “Odyssey ~ Meotida”

The Franko Theatre will premiere “Odyssey ~ Meotida,” a joint project of the theatre and the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine, “Azov.” The play was written by serviceman and playwright Oleksii Dorychevskyi, and directed by Ivan Uryvskyi.

The production combines the plot of Homer’s Odyssey with real testimonies from the defenders of Mariupol. At its heart is the theme of return: the physical and inner journey home — back to oneself, one’s own memory, and one’s country. Following the August performances, the production will also be staged in September and October.
