The opening of the new creative season at the Yakub Kolas Drama Theater will take place on October 4.
However, it is possible to attend some performances in September. Among them are "I Am Waiting for a Real Man", "O-la-la", "Paradoxes of Feelings", "Rogneda", "The Elevator" and others. In addition, the Kolas Theater, knowing the audience's fondness for the works of our compatriot Vladimir Karatkevich, has prepared the production "Christ Landed in Horoden" based on the novel of the same name.
It continues a series of performances based on the works of the Belarusian classic, well-known to theater art lovers: "The Boat of Despair", "Leonids Will Not Return to Earth", and even earlier "The Bells of Vitebsk"... Each of them is a magical blend of deep romanticism, historical grandeur, and apt, juicy humor. "Christ Landed in Horoden" is also not without it and offers the viewer a journey into the world of elevated Belarusianness. The premiere of the play will take place on September 8. The next performance for the general audience will be on the 19th.
Regarding the plot of the production, it begins in the mid-16th century. A Belarusian scholar, Yuras Bratčyk (Dzmitry Kavalenka, Michas Krasnajabajew), embarks on a path of struggle against greed and envy, betrayal and murder, cruelty and stupidity. The folk Christos, who creates “miracles”, loves his suffering and plundered Motherland.
