Sofia Andrukhovych - one of the most distinctive voices in young Ukrainian literature - created an epoch-making trilogy of novels with Amadoka. Czech director Dušan David Pařízek brings it to the stage with his outstanding ensemble of Prague actors. Romana, Uljana and Sofia are the heroines of the story. A novel is dedicated to each of them. The trilogy interweaves their personal fates and spans an entire century of Ukrainian history.

From 18 June to 5 July 2026, Chemnitz will be in the international spotlight: Germany's largest international theatre festival "Theatre of the World" is coming to Chemnitz - directly following the Capital of Culture year 2025. For three weeks, Chemnitz will be a meeting place for artists, audiences and theatre enthusiasts from all over the world. A lively celebration of the performing arts will take place on stages, in urban spaces and in unusual locations, overcoming borders and bringing together stories from all parts of the world.

Nine international curators from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Argentina, South Africa, Greece, Jordan, India, Senegal and China are responsible for the festival programme. They will meet in Chemnitz in November to select around 40 outstanding productions - works that they have previously viewed in their regions. The result is an inspiring panorama of current theatre forms, languages and perspectives.
