The performance in Kyiv
Two parents come to another couple “just to talk.” Politely, calmly, like adults.
But when ambitions, principles, and subtly hidden resentments collide, the conversation gradually turns into a true theatre of character.
A sharp comedy about the limits of civility
This is a brilliant, witty, and at the same time cutting comedy about how quickly the line disappears between civilized behavior and instinct.
The humor is sharp, the dialogue hits like blows, and the tension does not ease until the very end.

"Theatre on Chayna": over 15 years of rich history and gaining the status of a unique cultural phenomenon
Theatre laboratory "Theatre on Chayna" was founded in Odesa by a team of like-minded enthusiasts. They were graduates of the Odesa Theater Lyceum. And the main initiator was Oleksandr Onyshchenko, who was appointed director and artistic director of the theater. From the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Oleksandr Petrovych joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And Danilo Savchenko became the acting director.
The institution's birthday is April 6, 2010. Already in the second year of its creative activity, the theater received the prize "For the best acting ensemble and high acting culture in the play" at the 9th festival of non-state theaters "Kurbalesia" in Kharkiv.
Interesting facts about "Theatre on Chayna"
"Theatre on Chayna" is truly special. This is the only private theater in the city, which in 2025 celebrated its 15th anniversary. The theater team changed its location several times. Karantinna and Marazliyivska streets, Otonivskyi lane - and finally moved to a renovated chamber space at 37 Nizhynska. The hall was equipped to comfortably accommodate up to 60 spectators.
Theatre on Tea Street repertoire
The theater director Danylo Savchenko explains that the main difference of a private stage is freedom of choice: the team has the opportunity to stage exactly those performances that resonate internally, raise important topics for it and respond to current requests, and are not created to order.
With the beginning of a full-scale war, the troupe was significantly reduced - almost three times, to about fifteen participants. Despite this, the theater did not stop working and continued to develop. According to Danylo Savchenko, the loss of some directors made the process of creating new productions more difficult, so for some time the team focused on the existing repertoire. At the same time, even under these conditions, they managed to prepare several premieres.
Now the team is not stopping: work continues on both updating the repertoire and developing a new theatrical space. The list of performances of the "Theater on Tea" includes works based on plays by domestic and foreign authors:
- "Behind the Glass";
- "Little Donnie, Who Conquered the Darkness";
- "XX. Family Chronicle”;
- “Two”;
- “Out of the Access Zone…”;
- “Beautiful Life”;
- “MORE”;
- “A Cart with Apples, or Pretty Liars” and others.
