ORIGIN STAGE
Kyiv, вул. Шота Руставелі, 16А
Ready to witness a sharp and frank conversation about people who live here and now, dare to feel deeper, speak louder and create bolder, even when the future seems uncertain?
Azhnov's show "SAM" in Kyiv will take place on May 15 and 16, 2026 at 6:30 PM at ORIGIN STAGE.
The basis of the program is formed by texts from the 1920s–30s – a period that left a powerful cultural mark. Here, poems by provocative futurist Mykhailo Semenko and “king of the futuroprairies” Geo Shkurupiy, subtle lyricist Yevhen Pluzhnyk, as well as the master of melancholy Bohdan-Ihor Antonych and lyricist Vasyl Atamanyuk are heard. Most of these authors are representatives of the era of the Shot Revival. These are authors whose voices have not disappeared. And today they sound especially piercing and relevant.

Azhnov's show "SAM" in Kyiv
Actor Vitaliy Azhnov, who played the main role in the film "Malevich" and conquers the audience by playing in the performances of director Ivan Uryvsky, invites you to the poetic show "SAM". The Ukrainian word will sound in the ORIGIN STAGE space in an unexpected combination - with current jazz, expressive visual stylistics of costumes and conceptual video art that enhances every word and every pause.An honest conversation about the most important
The show "SAM" appears as an honest and deep dialogue about feelings, love and loneliness, based on texts of Ukrainian prose and poetry of the 19th–20th centuries - from Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky to Bohdan-Ihor Antonych. At the center of the story is a hero who balances between reality and the obvious world: he searches for meaning, finds love and experiences the pain of loss. The complex image is embodied by Vitaliy Azhnov - a plastic and multifaceted actor, known for the roles of Caligula in the production of the same name, Banquo in "Macbeth" and Frederic in "Lady of Arles". In this author's project, which the performer himself defines as existential, Vitaliy goes beyond the boundaries of his usual roles and deliberately provokes the viewer. Together with director Maksym Svets, the artist explores topics that are usually kept quiet or spoken about cautiously: vulnerability, sincerity in experiencing emotions, corporeality.The basis of the program is formed by texts from the 1920s–30s – a period that left a powerful cultural mark.
