Notes: | adapted by Virlana Tkacz and Roza Mukasheva; translated by Wanda Phipps | |||||
Synopsis: | This is a world premiere of an experimental theatre piece. It features artists from Kyrgyzstan and Yara Arts Group performers. It will be performed in a combination of Kyrgyz and English but will be completely accessible to American audiences. This synopsis is from the press release: "Er Toshtuk (Sir Toshtuk), a magical and darkly humorous theatre piece, is based on one of the oldest Kyrgyz epics about a journey into the underworld and out into the cosmos. Toshtuk, a young warrior, falls into the Underworld and must battle giants, monsters, and a killer cauldron as he grows up, finding love and loyal friends. The tale is a part of the cultural heritage of the people of Kyrgyzstan, a land of nomadic horsemen, whose memory is rich with the mythical adventures of ancestral warriors. The performance will be very visual, combining movement, song, dance and shadow puppetry. Movement will include a traditional shamanic dance called jinde-be (a dance of being possessed by a spirit). Music will be performed by Nurbek Serkebaev (Kyrgyzstan) on ancient instruments including the kyl-kiyak (a small, bowed, unfretted fiddle with two strings and a plaintive tone), chopo cho'or (a pottery ocarina), temir o komuz (a metal jaw's harp) and jygach ooz komuz (a wooden jaw's harp with one string, unique to Kyrgyz music, that sounds like throat singing). Costume design includes Kyrgyz embroideries incorporated into modern costumes | |||||

Synopsis: | Raven, a performance piece created by Virlana Tkacz with Yara Arts Group and Ukrainian artists, inspired by Oleh Lysheha's poem of the same title. Yara Arts Group assembles productions based on contemporary and traditional cultures of Ukraine and the East. Oleh Lysheha is a "poet's poet," acknowledged by many to be the best contemporary poet in Ukraine. Raven speaks to our desire to explore unknowable boundaries. Sharply delineated details from everyday life transform to reveal the true nature of reality. Birds, trees and fruit bear messages for the careful observer. The forest protects the secrets of the invisible path. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Yara Arts Group summons ancient epics and rituals from Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan for Scythian Stones, an original, experimental World Music Theater piece with choreography. The show constructs parallel journeys for two young women, from village life and nomadic tradition into the city. Their separate journeys become epic descents into the Great Below: the modern global desert where songs, skills, and languages vanish, leaving behind only mute markers like the Scythian Stones found today throughout the grasslands of Ukraine and Central Asia. The production features traditional music from Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan as well as modern music, design, and movement. Interweaving performances in Ukrainian, Kyrgyz and English, Scythian Stones will be completely accessible to American audiences. | |||||
