The Despair Club

Lesia Ukrainka Drama Theater

Watch with English subtitles. “The Despair club” is a whimsical cabaret-style party with dandy costumes, live music, grotesque sketches and daring honest characters. The performance will be especially appreciated by those who love musicals, Moulin Rouge aesthetics, and the melancholic moods of the Expressionists. Who is it, the main character of the play? You can ignore it, you can deny it, you can fight it, you can revel in it, you can make excuses for it, you can fall in love with it. Despondency, moodiness, melancholy, acedia. It will watch over you and one day it will shackle you in its arms. Like death that comes in the cold, it will deceptively warm you. Despondency is an eternal companion of human aspirations and, for your own good, it is worth taming it.
