“The Long Stage” is a collection of artifacts dedicated to the last performance of the Berezil Theater in 1933, “Maklena Grasa,” the last joint work of Les Kurbas, Mykola Kulish, and Vadim Meller.
This collection edition will include the texts of Kulish’s play and its modern remake, the play “The Thistle Flower,” written 80 years later by playwright Natalka Vorozhbyt at the request of Stanislav Moiseyev, who headed the Franko Theater immediately after the death of Bohdan Stupka and staged “The Thistle Flower” on its stage in 2013.
This is the first time that Vorozhbyt’s text has been published in our edition. The book contains historical photos of both performances, Vadim Meller’s costume sketches for “Maklena Grasa,” set models by Andriy Alexandrov, and costume sketches for “The Thistle Flower” by Kateryna Markush.
The main outline of the publication is created by an essay by the chief curator of the Museum of Theater, Music and Cinema of Ukraine, Tetyana Rudenko, where she talks about the history and context of the creation of both dramatic works.
The leitmotif of humiliation by poverty and the struggle for human dignity of “Makleny Grasy” acquires new strength in “Kvitka Budyak”, created in the dark times of Yanukovych’s presidency against the backdrop of the events preceding the Revolution of Dignity. Photographs of examples of vernacular typography from the Euromaidan period in the urban environment of Kyiv, taken by Sasha Bychenko, emphasize the continuity of Ukrainian history and the indomitability of resistance to dictatorship, encroachments on truth and justice.
