СКОВОРОДА. Сад Божественних Пісень

Skovoroda. GARDEN OF DIVINE SONG

The performance is dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of the Ukrainian philosopher and thinker Hryhoriy Skovoroda.

This is the Road to Skovoroda and an artistic study of the quality that is already winning the war and laying the foundation for a new Ukraine.

The first performance, which bears the same name as the project, is the opening of the gates to the Garden of Skovorodynska thought, position, and word.

...Here comes a man - lonely

traveler in the boundless

field on his land. Each

Her step is an effort towards the one. In it

the everyday recognizes itself as eternal. Home

becomes a temple, a thought —

heart. And towards this

a person gets eternal

images of their native culture. They

not shadows - they are you yourself, yours

memory, your great pain and

the highest joy. Between you

a conversation arises - as always

is among the living - about life, about

death, about time, about

love. Father is talking

with son, teacher with student, brother

with brother, man

with God...

At a time when all ties are severed, this effort of personal appeal to life, to another person, to God, to oneself, is today an artistic act - the realization of the Victory of Life over Death.
