Kyivska Perepichka

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

What does it mean to keep living, laughing and loving when your world is turned upside down by war?

Kyivska Perepichka is a moving one-woman performance by acclaimed Ukrainian actress Irma Vitovska, blending raw emotion, dark humour and extraordinary resilience to tell a story shaped by Ukraine’s experience of war. More than theatre, it offers an intimate glimpse into the human stories behind the headlines - a story of courage, identity, loss and the determination to keep going.

Experience the power of Ukrainian theatre and enjoy the opportunity to sample delicious Ukrainian treats.

Performed in Ukrainian with English subtitles. Presented by the Ukrainian Multicultural Society of Australia Inc.
