Hrytsko Chubai’s Nativity Play.

This world's a puppet theaterю

Bitterly I say: this world's a puppet theater.

And perhaps, the hardest thing in it is to remain

oneself.

                                      Hrytsko Chubai.

 

In order to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Ukrainian poet and art expert Hrytsko Chubai, the team of the City of Literature office together with Solomiia Chubai and the Jalapita band held a poetic and musical evening. New Jalapita songs were performed; the songs are based on the texts of Hrytsko Chubai and the poets inspired by the work of this leader of the literary and artistic underground of the last century. The evening brought together fans of the poet’s work and some old friends who recited Chubai's poetry: a Merited Artist of Ukraine, actor of the Maria Zankovetska National Theater Yurii Brylynskyi;a poet, playwright, author of many Ukrainian songs Bohdan Stelmakh,as well as Lviv poets of the literary dissociation Fringe..
