"Matchmaking in Honcharivka" – a theatre performance at the "Vyshyvanka Unites – Rahvustikand ühendab" festival!
The production is based on the play by Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko, a well-known Ukrainian playwright and founder of the social comedy of manners in classical Ukrainian literature.
The play tells a story that happened in Kharkiv, in Honcharivka. It begins with a domestic quarrel between a married couple, Odarka and Prokip. A neighbour appears and proposes marrying their daughter Uliana to his son – the rich but foolish Stetsko. Stetsko dreams of Uliana, but she is against it…
The girl loves another – the serf Oleksii. Now the lovers resort to tricks to avoid an unwanted wedding. In the end, Uliana marries her beloved, and Stetsko is left with a pumpkin (the traditional Ukrainian sign of a rejected proposal).
During the performance you will not only be drawn into a story of love and forced matchmaking, but you will also:
- see Ukrainian costumes, tableware, a traditional house and household items,
- learn how a girl used to respond to a marriage proposal – with consent or with a pumpkin,
- hear melodious Ukrainian songs and music,
- feel the true atmosphere of the past – informative, cheerful and touching.
The cast:
- Hanna Kiriienko Hanna Kiriienko– director, scriptwriter and Uliana's mother (Odarka)
- Andriy Yatsenko – Uliana's father (Prokip)
- Eduard Fatiiev Eduard Fatieiev – Stetsko's father (Kandziuba)
- Oleksii Vnukov – Stetsko
- Vladyslav Krasnikov – Oleksii
- Oleksandra Kozmenko – Uliana
- Oleksandr Smirnov Alex Smirnov – Oleksii's uncle (Skoryk)
- Artistic director – Inna Hordiienko
Music and songs performed by the vocal and instrumental ensemble "Dzherelo":
You will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past – informative, cheerful and interesting: you will see true love that overcomes difficulties.
We look forward to seeing you! And may love always burn in your hearts as it did in the hearts of Uliana and Oleksii!
See you on 18 May at the "Vyshyvanka Unites" festival in Tallinn!
