Puppet of the 1st Soldier, from the mono-play Everything will be all right…

The mono-play "Everything will be all right…" of the Kyiv City Puppet Theater (now - the Kyiv Municipal Academic Puppet Theater) was staged in 1994. It based on the diaries of Janusz Korczak, a Polish teacher who, together with his pupils from the Orphanage, went through all the horrors of the Nazi occupation and died with his children in the Treblinka gas chamber. The play also used excerpts from the works of O. Dryz, L. Ashkenazi, L. Ulitska. The director was SergiyYefremov, the artist - Iryna Uvarova. The mono-play has a vertep’s structure. It is based on the traditional theme of infanticide, which runs through biblical stories - from King Nebuchadnezzar to King Herod. At the same time, Herod's soldiers wear gas masks and bronze helmets with a swastika, which connects this story with the present.
