News - Enjoy street theatre

For summer season 2024

The amazingly spectacular performances by Ukrainian theatres, which we presented this year on European theatre festivals were above all an opportunity to express solidarity with Ukraine. There were many tears of emotion from the artists and thunderous, endless applause from the audience. For all these experiences we are very grateful. The war brings destruction and suffering to Ukraine every day. These street theatres despite air raids, power cuts, continues to stage its performances and although it is too early to imagine precisely when the situation will allow us to resume normal activity, we are starting to prepare for future tours.

Inauguration of the 47th Zamość Theatre Summer

Until 25 June this year, i.e. the day of the inauguration of the oldest Polish theatre festival, the 47th Zamojskie Lato Teatralne, we did not quite know how to suppress our emotions connected with the effort of completing the cast of “Clowning exposure”. Although the three Kiev actresses from Spain had been in Krakow for a few days, we were still waiting for the others who had been forced by Russian bombs, right at the beginning of the war, to leave for the Czech Republic, Germany and Sweden. And still those fighting in the ranks of the armed forces had to be replaced. It is not known what Force made all those who were supposed to be, arrive in Zamość. And the stories began: who, when and which way they escaped from the shelling, the barrels of tanks and artillery shells…. And then the Rynek Wielki in Zamość, the magical place of the “Padua of the North”, welcomed the Ukrainian artists as its own. As if that wasn’t enough, the Mayor of Zamość and the Director of Zamość Cultural Centre also welcomed our ensembles with fraternal warmth and invited the crowds to stop for a while. However, before the performance could begin, the anti-aircraft alarm sirens sounded and Vasily Bulat stood motionless in the empty square dressed in military moro. He reached for the attributes of a circus actor and discarded them as things now seemingly alien and unnecessary, and his gaze turned to a childish puppet, which he pressed with care to his heart. Thus began the show inaugurating the 47th theatre festival in Zamość.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2024

We will soon be celebrating Christmas 2023, a time of extraordinary emotion, heartfelt kindness, reciprocating smiles and joyful carol singing around the Christmas table. May this time allow for reflection. For many people, despite the festive season of peace, it will be a time of senseless war, bringing suffering and destruction.
Evil does not go away.
Our partner theatres and artists from Ukraine, despite the alarms , rocket attacks, drone bombardment, sitting in shelters and basements, do not lose hope for peace and a full return to their activities and the theatrical stage.

I would like to thank all those who empathised with our performances in their towns and cities during the outgoing year, applauded the actors, supported and helped.
I wish that the coming Christmas will pour into the hearts of our Artists and Spectators of the performances , hope for a better time. May they bring peace to the world where we can enjoy street theatre. We want to welcome you to our performances with wide open arms, hearts and smiles!

A colorful festival of street theatre was organized by the Cultural Center in the City Park, which was not only the venue of our dance shows on stilts, but also the place of interesting performances and theatrical spectacles of ensembles from Poland, Lithuania and the Woskresinnia Theater from Lviv. The colorful decor of the City Park, numerous stands and attractions for the youngsters brought in crowds of residents and guests of Sołecznik.

The InQbator Theatre Festival in Ostroleka (Poland)

On September 5 at the InQbator Theatre Festival in Ostrołęka we presented the spectacle “The Dance Pageant”. The performance was spontaneously received by the audience.

The Kiev Street Theater has a number of advantages that make the carnival atmosphere so infecting viewers. It’s not like it’s enough to turn on music so people have fun. Where to start? From artists! You can see right away that most of the actors are after ballet schools (or other dance schools). Even on the stilts there is no lack of grace, the movements are fluid, the gestures are finished. It looks very nice. For this costumes, multicolored, shiny and light, which should be to catch the eye. I looked at the layout and I was amazed at how great work was done to make the difficult evolution and layout seem as if it was a jumble. Believe me – she was not. The good-looking audience did not want to say good-bye to their fans. Bishops were needed, and later had fun together. Dance artists and audience were mixed. Our (very young) neighbors from behind the Ukrainian border left behind a really good impression. Włodzimierz Neubart, cultural chochlik
