For the first time in Germany – the world premiere of the stage play “KVITKA”
She sang with her heart, and her voice was like a violin floating through time…
This is the story of the legendary Kvitka Tsysyk – a woman whose unique voice enchanted the world and who bravely fought for each day of her life. Her love for music, her family, and her distant homeland of Ukraine became both her inspiration and her strength.
Kvitka awakened in us a true love for Ukrainian song.
She brought us joy, sorrow, memories of childhood, and a deep love for Ukraine.
Kvitka touched the hearts and souls of Ukrainians around the world.
