Інтерв'ю з Марією Кочур: 50 років у театрі і кіно, музей Григорія Кочура в Ірпені

Maria Kochur is the custodian of an outstanding intellectual heritage, a woman whose life is closely intertwined with the history of Ukrainian theater and literary translation. In this candid interview for the Mediapoglyad project, we talk about 50 years of work in the Theater of the Young Spectator, personal memories of the legendary director Sergei Parajanov, and the difficult fate of the Kochur family in Soviet times. In this exclusive interview, we touch on the most intimate and dramatic pages of Ukrainian culture of the 20th century. Maria Kochur is a legendary figure in the theater world, whose life was inextricably linked with the Theater of the Young Spectator (TYG), where she worked for 50 years.

You will hear unique memories of Sergei Parajanov — what he was like off-screen, how he worked on performances, and why his charismatic “black beard” became a symbol of the era. We also talk about the legacy of the outstanding translator Hryhoriy Kochur: why the reprinting of his works (such as “Hamlet” or “Third from the Moon”) is critically important for modern Ukraine and what new volumes of correspondence are being prepared for publication. Maria Kochur frankly talks about her experiences in Irpin during the full-scale invasion and why, despite everything, she continues to work for the future of the Ukrainian word.
