Imagine.
With each step you see a new picture. There is a white dove, as a wounded soul she confesses and still cannot find peace. There, the black crow, she demonically boasts about various manifestations of evil. The next is the lyrnik, who is telling some fragments of the mystery, calling you with his movement to follow. To see how the story will end…

Our dancers will guide you through the formation of national consciousness from the stormy and ambiguous times of Taras Shevchenko's "The Father Khmel", through the romanticized suffering of the Kobzar's years and the desperately bloody period of liberation struggles — to our future Victory.

Two Wings of Ukrainian Soul

The combination of Ukraine's past, present and future in a multimedia choreographic performance-promenade based on the mystery of Taras Shevchenko "The Great Cellar".

The performance combines the national traditions and historical memory of our people with contemporary Ukrainian reality through Shevchenko's symbols: Black and White Birds — an inseparable balanced combination of good and evil in the Ukrainian soul; Lyrnik is a source of wisdom and inspiration; The Great Cellar is a center of valuable and at the same time traumatic memory.

The performance is dedicated to the memory of Ostap Brynsky, who perished on August 19 near Bakhmut.
