Yara Arts Group from La MaMa Experimental Theatre in New York will present a workshop production of its current work in progress “Дім=EV=Home” created with Crimean Tatar artists at the Les Kurbas National Theatre Center in Kyiv on Friday, July 17 at 19:00.

The new music theatre piece is directed by Virlana Tkacz who developed the original work with New York poet Bob Holman, songwriter Susan Hwang and bandura player Julian Kytasty. Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan created poetry and monologues based on interviews Yara artists conducted with Crimean Tatars.

Дім=EV=Home” is performed by Yara’s Bob Holman, Susan Hwang, Julian Kytasty and Mykola Shkaraban, and features Crimean Tatar singer Lenara Osmanova, dancer Elvira Demerdzhy and actor Edem Tairov. Projections are by Waldemart Klyuzko from Kyiv. The set and lights are by Yevhen Kopiyov from the Les Kurbas National Theatre Center in Kyiv.  Assistants on the show include Sevil Mamadalieva.

Since 1990 Yara Arts Group has created thirty international collaborative cultural projects with contemporary and traditional artists from Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Siberia. Favorite shows include: “In the Light” about Les Kurbas and our own dreams of a new world on stage, “Blind Sight” about a blind Ukrainian writer who became a Japanese writer in 1914, “Circle” with Buryat artists from Siberia and Gogol Bordello, “Raven” based on poetry by Oleh Lysheha, “Scythian Stones” with Nina and Tonia Matvienko and Kyrgyz artists, and the recent “Winter Light” with Crimean Tatars and Hutsuls. They are happy to be working on another piece at theLes Kurbas National Theatre Center in Kyiv.

The development of Дім=EV=Home”was made possible by the Coca-Cola Company and the friends of Yara Arts Group.
