An art project based on the works of Amanda Gorman from the collection Call Us What We Carry as a poetic performance of the Les Kurbas Theate
Recently, we had the opportunity to meet in our theater with representatives of the US Embassy in Ukraine and share the process of work on the project, which is implemented within the framework of the grant program "Strengthening Ukrainian Cultural Institutions through Ukrainian-American Collaboration in Performing Arts".
At the heart of our project is an in-depth study of Amanda Gorman's poetry collection "Call Us What We Carry", which reflects the grace, strength and unique creative energy of the author. This is a Ukrainian study of American art, which aims not only to present the literary achievements of Amanda Gorman in Ukraine, because these works will be translated into Ukrainian for the first time. But we also aim to reveal common thematic and cultural parallels between our countries to the Ukrainian audience.
The result of the project will be a poetic performance on the stage of the Kurbas Theater, the premiere of which can be seen in March 2025.
