Occupiers plan to open a drama theater in Mariupol on September 10

In the place where hundreds of people died, the actors will present the premiere, according to MRPL.CITY

Earlier it was reported that the theater troupe moved to the Philharmonic building. They already had their first rehearsal.

The actors are fully in the creative process and are ready to work, to develop our theatre, - said the deputy director of the theater Alexander Chain.

This is how the Minister of Culture of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko commented on the decision of the invaders to give performances in the Maiupol Drama Theater.

Russians come to a foreign land, destroy, destroy, rob, appropriate someone else's for themselves. They desecrate not only the memory of the dead, but also destroy the general meaning of culture, history and memory, turning them into bloody weapons.

Where they killed 600 people, destroyed a cultural monument, they are going to "start the theater season with two or three performances in September." The Mariupol Drama Theater plans to resume its work in the city's Philharmonic. Cynicism and inhumanity rolls over. The world should no longer ask why Russian culture is a weapon.

At the same time, our Ukrainian Mariupol Drama Theater continues to operate within the walls of the Transcarpathian Regional Academic Music and Drama Theater named after. brothers Sheregiev in Uzhgorod. Today they are staging the play "I'm Going Over the Edge" by Vasily Stus.

It is not the walls that make the theatre, but the people. And we will definitely return the walls and rebuild them.

There is no bottom of inhumanity that the occupiers would not break through. Dance on the bones, performance at the burial ground. And everything is organized by the occupiers together with collaborators,” Petr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, commented on the situation, who spoke about the plans of the invaders.
