On May 30, an interesting cultural and artistic event took place on the main stage of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic” – children of scientific and pedagogical workers, university employees, students of general secondary education institutions, internally displaced persons watched the interactive charity performance “Wednesday. Continuation”, based on the well-known TV series.

As part of the large all-Ukrainian tour, the organizers, represented by the founder of the public organization “IDPs of Ukraine”, a member of the Supervisory Board of Poltava Polytechnic Maksym Tkachenko and the creative team of the “Kvartal – Concert” company, presented the young audience a real fairy tale with favourite characters, trendy music, bright special effects and dance flash mobs.

The creative agency Children’s Show acted as producers of the show, and the inspiration for the interactive play was the talented director Olesia Izuita, who created an exclusive script for the continuation of the famous series. Young and adult viewers followed the events of a completely new interactive production with particular interest, a comedy detective with a search for the missing headmistress of the famous Nevermore Academy, the loneliness of the main character and her internal conflict with members of her own family.

This is not just a story about a fairy tale with a happy ending; it is a story of hundreds of teenagers who, often faced with obstacles and the opinion of the surrounding world, are not ready to put up with the perception of themselves by the people around them. The author, along with a new reading of the work in an easy, relaxed format, managed to preserve deep philosophical meanings, leading the attentive viewer to the conclusion – even if you think that you are alone, there will be people nearby who care about your problems.

The performance had a charitable purpose – raising funds for the construction of a shelter for young patients of the National Children’s Specialized Hospital “Okhmatdyt”, everyone who wished had the opportunity to donate any amount to specially equipped boxes or purchase branded magnets, t-shirts with the image of Wednesday, thereby making their own contribution to noble cause.

“Despite the war, we give our children a holiday with their favorite movie heroes: Poltava Polytechnic became a unique venue for the large-scale charitable artistic event “Wednesday. Continuation” by the creative agency Children’s Show!

I am sincerely grateful to the creative team of “Kvartal – Concert” for the wonderful interactive performance, the positive mood of our smiling children. I thank Anna Tkachenko for the fact that, despite the war, you make the childhood of Ukrainian children happy, giving everyone a good mood, you are unsurpassed!

Special gratitude for the fruitful cooperation to the public organization “IDPs of Ukraine” and its founder, a member of the Supervisory Board of the university Maksym Tkachenko, for the great opportunity to become a powerful platform for large-scale cultural and artistic events.

Emotions in the auditorium were over the top, the audience was captivated by the spectacular performances of the actors – Uncle Fester’s electric show, Enid and Paxley’s dance flash mobs and, of course, Wednesday herself!

The new version of reading the well-known plot, the format of a comedic, slightly ironic detective story is impressive!

It’s nice when, by joint efforts, we make our nation even more invincible and, even in war conditions, we can see happy smiles on the faces of our children!

Let me remind you that at the beginning of March, the Poltava Polytechnic became the first Ukrainian higher education institution, on the main stage of which the mega-modern rock band “BEZ OBMEZHEN” presented their program “Free People”!

I am convinced that the main musical talents of our country will shine again and again on the main stage of the Poltava Polytechnic! And each of us will be able to join and make our own contribution to our common Victory!” – emphasized the Rector of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic”, Professor Volodymyr Onyshchenko.
