Reviews
“If I could, I would definitely come again — especially to see much of it anew after the discussion. Thank you for this work and for the emotions it gave us.”
“The dance never stops throughout the whole performance, there are no lulls, it reads as a complete work. There is ritual in it, and narrative, and an exploration of gender roles.”
FAUN CONTEMPORARY · “Stories. Of the Earthly and the Heavenly”
“Watching it a second time feels like the first. The director managed to move a great many in the audience to tears. And, as always, the aftertaste stays with you for a long time.”
“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.”
