The opening of a new play performed by the Art-Drama Studio took place at TNMU

The opening of the performance drawing on Juan José Alonso Millan’s play, “Potassium cyanide, alone or with milk?” from the Art-Drama studio took place on November 28, 2019 in the assembly hall of I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University. Our young actors have gained much success and popularity since the establishment of the Art-Drama studio. Traditionally, this evening the hall was completely filled.

The Art-Drama actors offered the theater art lovers an interesting and somewhat unexpected comedy in the style of black humor and the theater of the absurd. All the roles were played extremely dynamically and expressively.

Dialogues are a strong basis for Alonso Millan’s comedies. He often used language cliches or banalities to turn them into a very unexpected trend with the development of events. Alonso Millan also used elements of the detective genre in the development of intrigue. He constantly keeps the viewers in suspense and throughout the story pleases them with unexpected surprises. The comedy “Potassium cyanide, alone or with milk?” is one of them.

Our students coped with this creative challenge perfectly. They were able to convey the spirit of the play and the nature of the characters.

Donna Adela – Mariana-Ivanna Varvaruk
