On the Independence Day of Ukraine, actors ofIvan FrankoDrama Theaterthe Ivano-Frankivsk will perform the legendary play" Nation" on several different platforms of the building of the former astronomical observatory on Mount Pip Ivan. The time and link to the live broadcast from the International Research Center "Observatory" of the Precarpathian National and Warsaw Universities will be provided later. Bythe event called "Unreachable Nation" partners that are currently reviving the observatory in the project "Adaptation of the former observatory on Mount Pip Ivan to the needs of the mountain rescue training center" (PIMReC), implemented with the financial support from the European Union within the framework of the Cross-Border Cooperation Program Poland - Belarus - Ukraine 2014 - 2020, launch a new additional social project"THEATRICAL SINGING AT THE OBSERVATORY". The real events of the 40s of the XX century in the bloody Hutsul region, which formed the basis of the play "Nation", will be recreated again here, in the heart of the Carpathians. According to the plan of the initiators of the special project "THEATRICAL SINGING AT THE OBSERVATORY" of the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and the Frankivsk Drama Theater, the first performance "Inaccessible Nation" will be a kind of spiritualistic session for Ukraine. After all, a prayer performance based on the book of the same name by Maria Matios (staged by People's Artist of Ukraine Rostyslav Derzhypilsky) in the mountain scenery and stage space in the form of a former observatory building, which has witnessed those events, and in the 40s of the last century was at the crossroads, will open unhealed wounds of the past.The "Inaccessible Nation" will give the audience confession and forgiveness to "their" and “alien", "innocent" and "guilty" martyrs of history. For only out of love and torment is a new pure life born. A NATION is born. An unattainable nation. Every nation has two lives. One on the surface and the other in the depths. Deep people are always hidden, inaccessible to superficial research.But the living energy of the nature of the Carpathians and theatrical art can help lift the veil over the inaccessible deep part of the life of the Ukrainian nation.A nation that, like almost 100 years ago, continues to fight for its independence every day.“On August 24, on the Independence Day, the troupe of our Ivano-Frankivsk Theater is implementing this unique project on the walls of the ancient observatory.We came to the conclusion that we are opening a new theater on Mount Pip Ivan, which will start not only a national but also an international project, "-explained in an interview for the WHITE ELEPHANT website Ihor Tsependa, rector of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University. "We are not talking about the past today. We are talking about the future today. We will make here, in addition to science, also an art center of the European level ”,-said in an interview with the WHITE ELEPHANT website Rostyslav Derzhypilskyi, artistic director of the Ivan Franko Ivano-Frankivsk Drama Theater. With the help of modern technical means, the initiators of the project hope to be able to watch online everything that will happen on Independence Day at an altitude of 2028 meters.To be present at the unique play "Inaccessible Nation" about apocalyptic dilemmas of life and death, honor-dishonor, love-hate, where incompatible things are combined, where styles and directions, languages and religions are mixed. |
