This Christmas in Odesa, we’re doing something you can’t stream, fake, or google:
A live, raw, punk autobiography reading by Stas Podlipsky — frontman, artist, trouble-magnet, and walking archive of Odesa’s underground.
Perutsky Theater, Kanatna 71.
If you’ve never heard of K.U.L., “Children on the Grass,” the Green Theatre, or the city’s 80s–90s scene — perfect.
This night isn’t for insiders. It’s for anyone who wants to feel what a city sounds like when it’s alive and young.
What you’ll get:
Odesa from the inside — not postcard Odesa, but backyards, basements, studios, fights, love, hunger, madness, laughter.
Punk as a survival method, not a fashion choice. These stories are how a generation breathed under the Soviet ceiling and the chaos after it fell.
Characters you won’t invent in fiction: musicians, hustlers, muses, saints with dirty hands, and geniuses who never fit anywhere else.
A language that bites and sings — funny one second, brutal the next, and somehow warm all the way through.
Think Bukowski if he grew up on the Black Sea.
Think a city diary written with guitar strings, hospital iodine, cheap wine, and a heart that refuses to behave.
No glam. No nostalgia perfume. Just real underground memory, spoken by the guy who lived it.
Come even if you don’t speak every word.
You’ll understand the tone.
And the tone is Odesa-punk: “everything’s dark — so let’s make it loud and laugh anyway.”
📍 Perutsky Theater (71 Kanatna St.)
✨ December, 24. Start 20:00 (meet you in the bar)
📖 Christmas readings of a future book of stories
One night. Live voice. Odesa underground, open to the world.
