Synopsis:

Two pieces in one performance:

Women in D minor – a choreographic fresco inspired by Bach’s polyphony, reflecting on the paradox of female friendship and envy, revealing the coexistence of individuals within a timeless human tribe.

The Long Christmas Dinner – based on Thornton Wilder’s play, the ballet follows 90 years in the life of a family through the succession of Christmas dinners. The characters’ lives flow away, leaving behind only glimmers on the hourglasses of eternity.

Both productions received the Taras Shevchenko National Prize in 2016.
