DESCRIPTION:
“…The words Dignity and Freedom excite me, but they are still underwater like dolphins in the deep Black Sea.” — Viktoriia Khoroshylova
The performance is based on facts about russian violence against Ukraine and facts that examine the roots of Putin's regime from a historical perspective. Ecological impact, freedom of choice, power of humanity and vulnerability of human beings related to war are highlighted. The work consists of six parts and gives space where the artist makes a statement and the audience participates as well. The audiences can choose the order of the parts.
