Síðan 2022 hefur meðfram innrás Rússa í Úkraínu farið fram menningarstríð sem ætlað er að þurrka út úkraínska sjálfsmynd. Opinbera línan frá Rússlandi er sú að engin sérstök úkraínsk menning sé til. Hopak-verkefnið byggist á rannsóknum á hefðbundnum úkraínskum dönsum. Ekki er auðvelt að skilja á milli úkraínskra og rússneskra dansa í kjölfar aldalangrar, þvingaðrar aðlögunar, landvinninga, undirokunar og tungumálakúgunar. Hvernig myndu þessir dansar líta út í dag ef þeir hefðu fengið að þróast á frjálsan hátt? Hverju myndu þeir líkjast, hefðu þeir ekki verið kæfðir og and yfirgnæfðir?
Í verkinu Hopak er teflt saman sögulegri arfleifð og mínímalískri nálgun sem smækkar hvern dans niður í upphafspunkt hans. Þaðan eru skapaðir nýir dansar. Mögulega gætu þessar öldur, þetta stöðuga andsvar fortíðar og framtíðar, opnað okkur nýjar líkingar, hugmyndir eða óvænta merkingu.
Olga Dukhovna endurvinnur dans á sama hátt og aðrir endurvinna hluti; hún safnar þeim, umbreytir, veitir í nýjan farveg. Olga sem fæddist í Úkraínu og lærði í Brussel (P.A.R.T.S.) og Angers (CNDC) bræðir löngu gleymda þjóðdansa saman við nútímadans. Hún tekur öllum óvæntum árekstrum fagnandi. Í verkum hennar (Korowod, Hopak, Crawl) eru þjóðdansar afbyggðir til að leysa úr læðingi pólitískan kraft þeirra. Hún vakti athygli víða um heim fyrir Swan Lake Solo sem hún skapaði í herberginu sínu á tíma samkomutakmarkana. Hún stundar nú rannsóknir á flutningi og geymd hreyfinga.

Since 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been accompanied by a cultural conflict aimed at eradicating any Ukrainian identity. Russia’s official discourse insists that a distinctly Ukrainian culture does not exist. The Hopak project is based on research into traditional Ukrainian dances. Distinguishing Ukrainian dances from Russian ones is not easy, due to centuries of forced cultural assimilation, territorial expansion, repression and linguistic oppression. What would these dances look like today if they had been able to develop freely? What would they resemble if they had not been stifled and dominated?
Hopak is a play between historical heritage and a minimalist approach, reducing each dance to its starting point. From there, it creates new ones. And it is possible that these waves, these constant back-and-forths between past and future, might open the way to metaphors, imagination, or unexpected meanings.
Olga Dukhovna recycles dance the way others recycle objects: she collects, transforms, diverts. Born in Ukraine and trained in Brussels (P.A.R.T.S.) and Angers (CNDC), she fuses forgotten folklore with contemporary dance, embracing improbable collisions. Her works (Korowod, Hopak, Crawl) deconstruct traditional dances to reveal their political charge, while her solo Swan Lake, crafted in her room during lockdown, gained international recognition. She is now pursuing research on the transmission and memory of movement.
