At the Odessa International Theater Festival OITF "Into The Roots" in 2017 we created exactly one hour performance. I mixed the track Monatik "Krujit" (very popular at that period mainstream pop song) to contentiously sounded version and then our very slow performance "TO MA TO" took place in the disco light flashing.



With ZA we have create two performance-show projects in PostPlayTheatre, Kyiv: "Eclipse" (spring 17) and "Darkness" (winter 17) .

In our second show "Eclipse" we dissociated ourselves from the audience with translucent coat:

"Darkness" show is an investigation of all the dark. We have black make-up (opposed to classical Butoh white makeup)

Butoh workshops in Odesa, UA

In 2017 I participated in the show choreographed by Adam Cohen / shadowbody (USA) in the Invog gallery. 

We started slow walking on the street, and gradually came to the gallery where performed dying and then resurrecting.

In 2016 I participated in a show choreographed by Haru Hee (Japan) in the Museum of Modern Art.

We used the entire space of the museum. Our performance consisted of born awakening, "lived my life" walking to the main room, and then group dying in the next room.

Butoh opera "Medea" by Ukho

In 2016 I took part in a large-scale concert and show near the Olympic Stadium, Kiev. Perfomance made by Flavia Ghisalberti (Switzerland) and Valentin Tszin  (Russia / Germany) for the Ukho concert agency. 

the show was at sunset time in summer at the stadium parking site
we have formed people wall with stones on our heads

We moved very slowly, literally floating over the asphalt, oncoming to the audience.
first 20 minutes we were almost invisible behind the backs of the musicians

To participate in this show I have to pass many complex rehearsals in any weather. But it was worth it.
