FC Kryvbas supported the staging of the play "Eneida" by the Veterans' Theatre in Dnipro
In Dnipro, an experimental musical and physical performance of *Eneida* - based on the poem by Ivan Kotliarevsky - was presented by the "Veterans' Theatre." Football Club Kryvbas has joined in supporting this cultural-therapeutic project.
What makes this production unique is that all roles are performed by active-duty military personnel and veterans of the russo-Ukrainian War, including individuals who have sustained amputations or severe injuries. A professional team worked on the production for over a year, led by director Olha Semioshkina (chief choreographer at the Ivan Franko National Theatre) and the artistic director of the "Veterans' Theatre," Akhtem Seitablaiev. The project integrates physical theatre, classical literature, and psychological rehabilitation.
Volodymyr Baienko, General Director of FC Kryvbas, shared his impressions of the performance and emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine’s defenders:
"The *Eneida* performance gives you goosebumps. The people on stage - who have endured the hell of war and defended our country - are now navigating an equally challenging phase, trying to find their place in life amidst new realities. It is our civic duty, both as a club and as individuals. We must attend such events as often as possible and help them grow, so that more projects like this can flourish in our country."
The "Veterans' Theatre" was founded by Oleksii Dmytrashkivskyi, and the project is being implemented with the support of the MHP-Hromadi Charitable Foundation and the "Watch Ukrainian!" Association. Its primary goal is to establish a nationwide network of veterans' theatres to assist military personnel in their recovery, psychological rehabilitation, and reintegration into society through the arts.
