On April 10, an exclusive screening of the play "EARTH-SONG" will take place in Kyiv, a musical and theatrical performance by the Lviv Academic Municipal Theater, Art, Research and Educational Center "Word and Voice" (SiG).
"EARTH-SONG" is a performance in which the main character is the Ukrainian Song.
More precisely, the oldest folk songs from all regions of Ukraine. A song as a memory of the family, as a string of pain and joy between heaven and earth, as a living force that brings to the world the ability to preserve Life.
The performance will take place on Good Friday, a day of silence, deep concentration, and anticipation. At this time, the performance sounds like a conversation between the earth and the sky, as a reminder of the inseparability of generations and the presence of the Family: "How rarely now can we hear a living song! A living song is from a living source: from this person in this time and space. Because today a person loves, breathes, gives birth just like a thousand years ago. And the song preserves and gives life to the very thing that makes him a HUMAN. And he "comes to life again and laughs again" (Shevchenko)," says the director of the performance.
The project is built on a living existence on stage. The song is born here and now, like the breath of the earth itself. The boundary between the stage and the audience disappears, creating a single space of sound.
The following participate in the performance:
Natalia Polovinka, Yulia Tarasovych, Maria Kmit, Khrystyna Silivon, Anastasia Redchuk.
The author of the idea and the director is Natalia Polovinka - Ukrainian singer, theater and film actress, teacher, director. Founder of the modern theater of Living Tradition "Word and Voice". Winner of numerous theater awards, 15 international film festivals in the Best Actress nomination, Winner of the Shevchenko Prize.
