The Play Koza-Dereza at Kulturhuset Favorit: A Ukrainian Fairy Tale on the Swedish Stage

At Kulturhuset Favorit, one of the most beloved Ukrainian folk tales, “Koza-Dereza,” came to life. This performance was a true celebration for both children and adults, blending a traditional story, vibrant costumes, and the magical atmosphere of theater.

The young actors beautifully conveyed the charm of this folk tale: the cunning Koza-Dereza, who tricks everyone around her, the kind forest creatures, and, of course, the brave Crayfish, who ultimately restores justice. Laughter, folk music, and Ukrainian authenticity made this play truly special, while the audience couldn’t hide their emotions, cheering on the performers with enthusiastic applause.

Such performances not only entertain but also help children connect with culture, language, and traditions. For the Ukrainian community in Sweden, this play was a heartfelt reminder of home.

Kulturhuset Favorit continues to create a space where art unites people and traditions come to life on stage. We look forward to seeing you at our future theater events!
