A play about the iconic Ukrainian poet Vasyl Stus and his resistance. Performed in Ukrainian, +English/Swedish subtitles
‘Our Stus’ is more than a play – it is a journey into the soul of an indomitable poet. A drama woven of pain and love, of the struggle for truth and freedom. On stage we meet Vasyl Stus, the poet whose voice defied the system, whose poems carry a burning desire, a deep pain and an unrelenting love for Ukraine. The play is an exploration of Stus’s legacy – a chance to feel his struggle, his suffering and his unbending faith in freedom. It is the story of a man who never succumbed to the weight of oppression, who remained true to his ideals until his last moments. ‘Our Stus’ is not just a performance – it is a reminder, a call to remember, to understand that freedom is the highest value, worth every fight.
