Students and teachers of Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University had a wonderful opportunity to watch the psychological drama “Railway” by the Transversal Theater Company. The production gave the audience unforgettable emotions, deep impressions, and the opportunity to rethink important life values.
“Tense, exciting, full of strong emotions… The performance captivated me from the first moment and did not let go until the very end. It made me think about true life values, understand the impact of historical events on human experience, and feel something much deeper…” – these were the impressions from watching the performance shared by Professor Yakiv Bystrov, Head of the Department of English Philology at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, who initiated the invitation of the Transversal Theater Company to Ivano-Frankivsk.
The performance “Railway” became not only a bright artistic event, but also an emotional immersion in historical times. The skill of the director, producer and actors, attention to every detail and the depth of the stage embodiment allowed the audience to feel a special connection between modern events and the past. Through stage images, dialogues and acting, the audience had the opportunity not only to observe the events, but also to feel their inner tension, the drama of the situation and the depth of human emotions. It is such theatrical productions that leave a lasting emotional mark, because they encourage us to think about important issues that are still relevant today.
For young students, such cultural events are an important opportunity to broaden their worldview, join the contemporary artistic process, and reflect on the fate of families during World War II. Theater creates a special space for dialogue, where art becomes a means of understanding the past, understanding the present, and forming value orientations.
“An incredible, unsurpassed performance! The director, producer, and actors put their heart and soul into every detail of the production. Thank you very much for bringing the pages of history to life, transporting us to those distant times, and allowing us to feel such a deep, poignant connection with them,” the audience noted.
On behalf of the faculty and students, we express our sincere gratitude to director Mires Peniushkevych , producer Kateryna Gumbatova , talented playwright Bryan Reynolds , and the entire Transversal Theater Company team for an extraordinary production, unforgettable impressions, and a truly moving theatrical experience.
Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University highly values cooperation with creative collectives that, through art, contribute to cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and spiritual enrichment of the university community. The meeting with Transversal Theater Company was another confirmation that true art has no borders and is able to unite people regardless of their experience or origin.
