MYR Red [Renaissance]

The Glasgow Premiere of Red [Renaissance] (укр. «Ти [Романтика]), filmed live at the theatre in Kyiv.

Join us on 2 May at CCA Cinema for the Glasgow premiere of Red [Renaissance], a remarkable live-filmed theatrical production shot at Kyiv’s October Palace (Zhovtnevy).

This unprecedented original historical musical from Ukraine illuminates the lives of writers who shaped the nation and honours their struggle against the oppressive Soviet regime.

The performance delves into the tragedy at the “Word” House in Kharkiv, where hundreds of prominent figures of the Ukrainian cultural movement were killed by Soviet authorities.

Khvylovy, Sosiura, Ostap Vyshnia, Les Kurbas, Mykhailo Semenko, and Pavlo Tychyna — the extraordinary artists of the early 20th-century Ukrainian creative elite — come to life on the big screen to narrate the powerful story of the visionary creators who believed in the future of Ukrainian culture.

By transforming this incredible production into film, the MYR team preserves and digitises an essential piece of Ukrainian cultural heritage for audiences worldwide.

This filmed theatrical production of a musical is specifically designed for the big screen.
