The independent theater "Garmyder" was founded in Lutsk in 2003.
Over the 23 years of its activity, the theater has realized dozens of performances, art projects, and public events.
At different times, "Garmyder" worked in partnership with educational and cultural institutions of the city, and since 2020 it has been functioning as an independent artistic structure.
Today, "Garmyder" operates in two spaces - the art space "Angar" and "KulturnoUKRYTTYA". The premises of the art space "Angar" were revitalized with the support of the community, and the "KulturnoUKRYTTYA" theater team independently furnished and equipped for holding events. The team works with current social and cultural contexts, actively interacts with the community, and initiates public reflection on the challenges of our time.
The artistic director and director is Ruslana Porytska. The theater unites artists of different generations, including volunteers and active servicemen of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
A separate educational direction is the Theater Workshop for Children and Teenagers "DogoryDrygom", which has been operating since 2017 and forms a value-oriented environment for creative development.
During the full-scale war, part of the theater space became a center for volunteer activities, which was later transformed into the charitable foundation "Angar.Ukraine". This experience determined the future optics of the theater - with a focus on memory, gratitude and continuity of cultural life even in crisis conditions.
Today, Garmider joins forces with the literary platform Frontera, the community Algorithm of Actions, representatives of creative industries and the community to work together on the actualization of memory and the revitalization of the urban landscape.
The theater is open to interdisciplinary partnerships, international cooperation and joint cultural initiatives.
