Since the full-scale invasion, the theatre's employees have been involved in the volunteer movement and the defence of Ukraine on the war front. Special creative projects have become a response to the war. The theatre's repertoire also includes Caligula by Camus (directed by I. Uryvsky), Arturo Ui's Career, Which Could Have Been Stopped (directed by D.Bogomazov) and War by L. Nuren (directed by D.Petrosyan).
The theatre provides free tickets to the defenders of Ukraine and raises funds for the needs of the Ukrainian Army. The theatre finds the strength to function as a space for reflection and unity for audience, contributing to the resilience and recovery of Ukrainian society as a whole.
