"Лохотрон по-українськи або сто тисяч"

"Scam in Ukrainian or $100,000" (with the play "One Hundred Thousand" by I. K. Karpenko-Kary )

The ancient story described by I. Karpenko-Kary in the play "One Hundred Thousand" is surprisingly repeated in the modern history of Ukraine. A Ukrainian does not want and must not be a deceived passerby in his Fatherland. This is the main message in the fatal comedy from the Theater of Ukrainian Tradition "Dzerkalo" to the audience.

What is better - money or love? This is the question that young Roman Kalytka faces. His father seeks to get rich through fraud with counterfeit money. But the young man loves a simple girl, Motrya, and hesitates between the temptation of his father's "wealth" and the call of his heart. What will win? Who will win in a crazy "scam"? The audience will learn about this from the performance based on Ivan Karpenko-Kary's play "One Hundred Thousand" - "Scam in Ukrainian."
