In a significant cultural event, the city of Prague is gearing up to host a theatrical performance of "Katerina," a play based on Taras Shevchenko's famous poem. The play, performed in the Ukrainian language, is a collaborative effort featuring actors from the Lviv National Academic Drama Theater named after Mariya Zankovetska, under the direction of Bohdan Revkevych.
The performance is scheduled to take place at Divadlo U Hasičů, a prominent theater venue in Prague, on the 27th of October.

The play "Katerina" is based on Taras Shevchenko's poem, written in St. Petersburg in the late 1830s to early 1839. The poem is renowned for its memorable verses, including the famous lines: "Kohaytesya, chornobryvi, ta ne z moskaljamy. Bo moskaly – chuzhi liude, robljat lykho z vamy" (Love each other, dark-haired ones, but not with Muscovites. For Muscovites are strangers, they bring you harm).
Audience members can purchase tickets for the play, with prices starting at 290 Czech crowns. Tickets can be acquired through the official website of the theater.
The performance is scheduled to begin at 19:00, and the venue is located at Římská 2135/45, Praha 2-Vinohrady.
