The play "Salvation of the Archon"
A joint initiative of the first project theater of modern dance in Ukraine Ukrainian Dance Theater and the Young Theater!
A long-awaited experiment, where dance techniques recognized all over the world are synthesized with new trends in art. This is a variety of genre and a search for new means of expression.
The author of the play uses an old myth from the time of the Gnostic teachings of the II-III centuries. only as a background for her own reflections on the theme of the wanderings of Saint Sophia, “the souls of all souls”, which, having missed the mark, plunged deep into the maze of matter, giving birth to ugly sons-archons. They mislead humanity by presenting an illusion as reality based on ignorance. In the end, the author's own interpretation is in perfect agreement with the images of cold-blooded and bloodthirsty archons who, in pursuit of bright souls, descend to earth, posing as nuns, hiding their faces from the "light", which is the audience.
The premiere of the performance is on May 30.
