Art ballet company, the only neoclassical troupe in Ukraine, presents a unique ballet-biography "Lesya" by Ukrainian ballet master Artem Shoshin, whose performance "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" last year shook the entire theater and art world of Ukraine.
"Lesya" is the first dance performance about the life and work of Lesya Ukrainka, a woman who became a symbol of femininity, national culture, freedom and indomitability.
The leading roles are performed by world-famous stars of Ukrainian ballet - prima ballerina, People's Artist of Ukraine Natalia Matsak and Premier of the National Ballet of Ukraine Serhiy Kryvokon.
The amazing fate of the brilliant poetess and writer Lesya Ukrainka inspired ballet master Artem Shoshin to create a sublime and metaphorical choreographic story. The ballet demonstrates how behind the image of a canonical figure lies a living woman with her feelings, passions and dramas. Shoshin's choreography is filled with sharpness and at the same time tenderness: every movement of the ballet is an emotion, every scene is a story.
The libretto is based on real events. In the performance, the stages of the heroine's life are recreated in the language of neoclassical choreography in a free, poetically reinterpreted form, and people dear to her heart appear. This is a ballet about love, creativity, and the heroic struggle with illness.
The ballet is set to the poetic and tragic music of the romantic composer Franz Schubert.
We are waiting for you at the elegant and modern ballet "Lesya".
Do not miss the opportunity to touch the high art that rethinks the image of an outstanding figure of Ukrainian culture! But most importantly, it proves that modern Ukrainian ballet has a voice that sounds all over the world.
