History and Context of the Musical

“MUR. You [Romance]” is not just another performance about the tragedy of Executed Renaissance. Director Alexander Khomenko states that the musical is not just about tragedy, but about the lives of those who continued to fight for their culture despite the repressions. This musical highlights figures such as Les Kurbas, Mykola Khvylovy, Pavlo Tychyna, Mykola Vyshnia, and Vasyl Sosyura, who continued to create and dream even in the most difficult conditions.

“You [Romance]” is a deep and emotional story about people who did not stop creating Ukrainian culture despite all the hardships of time. The musical combines elements of documentary theater with contemporary music styles such as hip-hop, creating a vivid and captivating atmosphere.

The Musical as a Cultural Phenomenon

The musical became a pioneer in the genre of “theater in cinema”, and the filming took place at one of the historical sites of Ukraine — the October Palace in Kyiv, where executions of Ukrainian cultural figures, such as Mykhailo Semenko, took place. This is an important link to the history and tragedy that continues to remain relevant today.
