“It was thundering all the time. It never stopped”

A long-awaited premiere, many performances, and passionate work. On the eve of the war, the Kherson Academic Theater was in full swing. On February 23, the actors presented the stage premiere, and the next day their lives changed forever. The artistic director of the theater, Oleksandr Knyha, was interrogated by the occupiers, but this did not break him. The theater continues to work in Kyiv.
