Vakarchuk visited the theater for the famous play 'Caligula' (photo).

Sviatoslav Vakarchuk, the leader of the band 'Okean Elzy', attended the play 'Caligula' at the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater. He announced this on his Facebook page.

Vakarchuk noted that Ukrainian theater is experiencing a renaissance and explained this by the success of the new generation of actors and directors who have been educated according to European standards. 'I believe this is just the beginning,' the singer added.

The Ukrainian theater is experiencing a renaissance. Is it because of the war and people's desire to connect to beauty in this difficult Time, or because a new generation of actors and directors has finally grown up, raised on European traditions? I think it's both. And I believe this is just the beginning.

Sviatoslav Vakarchuk also published photographs with the actors of the play 'Caligula' and expressed high praise for their talents.

It is worth noting that the musician's salary in 2024 has decreased compared to previous years. Compensation for service in the Armed Forces amounts to 1 million hryvnias, which is ten times less than in 2023.

Vakarchuk's manager stated that the singer does not have a combatant certificate and does not plan to return to political activity. The press service of 'Okean Elzy' confirmed that Vakarchuk continues to be mobilized in the Armed Forces.

In June 2024, Sviatoslav Vakarchuk submitted a declaration for release from service but remains mobilized in the Armed Forces, which means a transfer to a new position. Vakarchuk did not disclose details about his new position.
