While backstage at the theatres, the scenery for the next production of Dmytro Korchynskyi's work is being prepared, his first collection of plays has been published. Undoubtedly, this event will become a totaliser of wider interest in theatre and a new breath in the contemporary theatre culture of Ukraine.

The thread of the characters' dialogues leads the reader out of the darkness of the intricate labyrinth of the historical fate of the Ukrainian people, in the jungle of which the demonic Minotaur is securely barricaded. The image of the latter is the repulsive Moscow imperialism. Throughout all the epochs of its formation, it has been stubbornly strangling the chest of the freedom-loving nation and blocking its full breathing.

The heroes of Korchynsky's dramatic performances perform the feat of Theseus. Each play leaves an irrefutable axiom in the subcutaneous plane of the text: "The empire will be overthrown" and inspires the spirit of national romanticism. And even detached from the context of contemporary macro-political events, the play Vienna Coffee is a unique lens through which a contemporary playwright and audience give world history a Ukraine-centric accent.
