CASSANDRA
OSDC DANCE THEATER

DESCRIPTION:
A performance that unites the past with the future, kinetic with static, color with form, and a certain content with a labile space of thought.
The plot is based on the most mysterious poem by Lesia Ukrainka, which depicted the confrontation between good and evil through the prism of the visions of the daughter of the Trojan king Cassandra. This beautiful girl saw the truth and tried to convey it to people in order to direct them on the right path, but no one believed her, because it is difficult to hear the absolute truth from a fragile prophet.
