Reviews
“If I could, I would definitely come again — especially to revisit certain things with fresh eyes.”
“The dance never stops throughout the whole performance — no lulls, you watch it in one breath.”
FAUN CONTEMPORARY · “Stories. Of the Earthly and the Heavenly”
“Watching it a second time feels like the first. The director managed to move so many in the audience to tears.”
“I love the work of Yulia Bychkova and “Koroche” — it's deep and meaningful. This time I came with my teenage daughter, and she loved it too.”
