The Great Vault

Poltava Puppet Theater

This dramatic performance, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence, is based on the political romantic poem-mystery "The Great Cellar" by Taras Shevchenko, in which the poet allegorically and fantastically encapsulates the history of Ukraine in its main crisis moments. This large-scale production represents an extensive illustration of the path that the Ukrainian nation has been on. Unfortunately, all the pain points identified in the poem written in the 1840’s are still relevant today.
