Kyiv National Academic Molodyi Theatre, Youth theatre in Shevchenkivskyi District, Ukraine.
Kyiv National Academic Molodyi Theatre is a modern theatre building with three performance spaces of different sizes in the Shevchenkivskyi District. The four-storey building on Prorizna Street hosts daily performances across its main stage, chamber stage, and studio space.
The house traces its roots to a theatre group founded in 1917, growing from the work of Les Kurbas. The current institution was established as an Academic Theatre in 1979, continuing the tradition of youth-oriented performance.
The theatre shapes the neighbourhood's artistic life by working with contemporary dramatists and staging plays from around the world. Visitors encounter a mix of classic works and new pieces, many developed through direct collaboration with emerging writers.
The building is easily accessible and sits on a main street in the centre of the neighbourhood. Visitors should know that each stage offers a different experience, so it helps to check schedules to find a performance that fits your preference.
The MolodyyStudio program connects the theatre directly with emerging dramatists, allowing them to see their own works performed on stage. This system gives new voices a platform within an established theatrical house.
