Вова зі Львова і Всюдисвоя concert
A concert in the yard is not about coming, taking your seat, listening to music and going home. A concert in the Yard means coming, meeting artists and new Ukrainians in your city 🇺🇦, exchanging stories, drinking fermented grape juice and eating pastries that taste like home 😋 Finally, listening to soulful, meaningful music, laughing and crying, dumping on the Armed Forces and getting impressions that may not be possible in any other way 🥳
Free People Movie
This evening we'll watch documentary movie "FREE PEOPLE" by Ganna Yarovenko about the modern kobzars, Ukrainian traditional lyre players. It is also a study of the cultural and informational space in which Ukrainians lived on the eve of the Revolution of Dignity.
In the film you will see five main characters from different regions of Ukraine united by a common cause to reconstruct kobzars’ journey according to a centuries-old tradition.
The ancient art of kobza and lyre playing has a long history in Ukrainian culture. The blind minstrels wandered in Ukraine since Medieval times, singing their epic songs about Ukraine's heroes in their quest for freedom and religious spirituality. This tradition survived many regimes despite state persecution. The documentary “Free People” is a film-experiment and film-investigation of the modern mass culture in Ukraine. You will meet five modern kobzars Yaroslav Krysko, Taras Kompanichenko, Andriy Liashuk, Yarema Shevchuk and Taras Dorotsky, who walk from village to village in central Ukraine singing their old songs of struggle, courage and freedom. In the old times, kobzari were treated as spiritual leaders. To listen to a kobzar song was equal to listening to a prayer. What would be the reaction of people whom they will meet on their journey? Would they embrace the old tradition, or the string of history has already been lost?
Funds from the main sales as usual will go to the Liberty Ukraine Foundation.
