It is a world of abandoned theaters, churches, and power stations. Beneath disused power lines and dancing flocks of birds, water flows endlessly. Descendants of human beings wander among the ruins – mysterious and yet familiar seeming figures that have survived a series of catastrophes. ‘CHORNOBYLDORF’ envelops its audience with powerful video images, traditional and classical singing, dance, and the sounds of unconventional instruments. The interdisciplinary creative team led by the composers Roman Grygoriv and Illia Razumeiko has created an experimental music theater work in which the real space between fragments of different cultural epochs, post-industrial landscapes, and hybrid sound worlds becomes blurred. This creates rituals and symbols of post-Apocalyptic civilization that carry associations without ever dissolving completely into meaning.
