Today, the threat to Ukraine's existence has once again ceased to be a fact of the past, so artists, choreographers, dancers feel the need to consider in their works the challenges that every Ukrainian faces. Body language and dance make it possible to talk about the most difficult things for which there are no words.

The authors of the dance performances reflect on the nature of death and what motivates us to fight for independence. The collective traumas of Ukrainians, which prevent them from reaching a new level of development, are being studied.

This miniature performance was born at the intersection of dance, physical theater and music. The interweaving of experimental searches with tradition, the live sound of the wheel lyre and modern dance will offer you not only a spectacular form, but also important and deep meanings. The cycle, and most importantly, the interdependence of Life and Death, the place of man in this eternal cycle, is what the play focuses on. Two female performers will immerse you in the whimsical and at the same time magical world of contemporary dance theater for 30 minutes.

Director and scenographer: Bohdan Polishchuk
Choreographer and performer: Oleksandra Mahera
Composer and musician: Varvara Turta
Lighting designer: Svitlana Zmeeva

Duration: 30 min.

The work is based on Jung's ideas about the collective unconscious. Our actions in the present are determined by what happened in the past, and our behavior is a mirror of previous generations. The connection with them is not limited to memory.
Performance The Traces is a dance visualization of the effects of psychological trauma caused by historical tragedies. They show how our culture, our relationships with people, and our destiny can be defined by the past. But it is worth remembering that these imprints can also be the key to changing the script of our future.

    All-Ukrainian association "Contemporary Dance Platform" was created in 2015 by the professional dance community during the festival of contemporary dance theater "Zelyonka FEST". Creation of the Platform was a result of shared understanding that there was a need for an organization which would:
    - develop networking in the contemporary dance community;
    - assist in creating international projects and establishing contacts with international organizations in the sphere of contemporary dance;
    - promote contemporary dance as a genre of experimental stage art and increase its audience numbers;
    - seek opportunities for financing projects;
    - establish contacts with art institutions in other spheres to create interdisciplinary projects.
