Review: Welcome to 'Illinoise,' land of love, grief and zombies
NEW YORK, NY.- When emotions get too big for speech, you sing; when too big even for song, you dance. Or so goes the standard theatrical formula. But what if the emotions are huge from the get-go? Thats the challenge and, it turns out, the glory of Illinoise, a mysterious and deeply moving dance-musical hybrid based on Sufjan Stevens similarly named 2005 concept album. (The title has acquired an extra e.) Exploring the hot zone between childhood and adulthood, when emotions can be at their most overwhelming, the show dispenses with dialogue completely and leaps directly to movement and song. But not together: Among a thousand other smart choices, Justin Peck (who directed and choreographed) and Jackie Sibblies Drury (who, with Peck, wrote the story) have delaminated the songs from the characters, thus avoiding the jukebox ...

The PinchukArtCentre is now presenting the exhibition 'I Feel You'
KYIV.- The PinchukArtCentre presents "I Feel You," an international group exhibition that goes from empathy to our ability to listen.

Landscapes emerge, carrying scars of human tragedy while bearing the seeds of hope. Unsilenceable voices sound free and loud, despite the repression of authoritarian regimes. Human anxieties and utopian dreams are eclipsed by the political manipulations that affect reality today. Threats to life and freedom, inevitable losses, geopolitical strife, and climate change challenge the ... More
Revival and continuity of traditions of Tashkent school of embroidery evident in 'Suzani: A Story of an Embroiderer'
