Nothing found

“Black Square” is one of the most famous independent theatres in Ukraine. It has been creating unique live art right in front of the audience for over 30 years. Come to the performances of the Black Square Theatre and enjoy unsurpassed improvisations by real masters!

A theatre with its own vision

“Black Square” Studio Theatre was founded in 1991 after five years of searching and creative experiments. The founder and permanent artistic director is Anatoliy Neyolov, who has become synonymous with an informal approach to directing and honest dialogue with the audience. The theatre made its debut with the play The Crows Fly Home in the Evening based on the works of Wolfgang Borchert in November 1991. Over the following years, “Black Square” has performed more than 120 classic and original productions, winning numerous theatre competitions and festivals.

“Black Square” works on the principle of stage improvisation, when actions are born spontaneously, and the actors trust their intuition, the moment and emotions. Sometimes the viewer becomes a full-fledged participant in the performance, which adds extraordinary emotions to the viewing experience. This unique technique has become the company's trademark and attracts theatre audiences.

Bold, modern, frank

“Black Square's” repertoire includes plays that are not afraid to call a spade a spade. These are mostly comedies on romantic, intimate and social topics. And they are unique in their structure, as they can combine several principles of storytelling, such as dialogues, miniatures or stand-up. The theatre's most popular productions:

  • ‘Swingers or...’;
  • ‘Below the Belt;
  • ‘Two Stripes or Double Solid;
  • ‘Games for adults’;
  • ‘All women are for sale’;
  • ‘A chance for lost love’;
  • ‘Honeymoon’;
  • ‘Lovers Dance in Bed’.

“Black Square” is constantly expanding its repertoire. There are no taboos here, there is only a desire to explore a person and the truth of their life. This is a theatre where people laugh, think, feel shy, and empathise. Every evening at “Black Square” is special, and every performance is unique. Here, the actors go on stage every time, as if for the first time, to create real art together with the audience. And it's worth seeing!
