Past | Present | Future

The performance begins with “Past”, choreographed by Vladyslav Detiuchenko, which delves into the creative philosophies of two iconic artists: the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian and the Ukrainian artist Alexandra Exter. Through the language of movement, the piece
contrasts Mondrian’s geometric rationalism with Exter’s kinetic expressionism, creating a dynamic interplay of order and chaos. The dancers embody these opposing worldviews, forging a unique synthesis that breathes life into the static forms of art.

What is the Present, and what does it feel like?
Each person holds the answer for their own life, shaped by their unique experiences, emotions, and perceptions. But how do others perceive the Present, and how does it connect us all? It’s an invitation to step into the world of the Present as envisioned by Marne van Opstal—an exploration of reality brought to life through a profound interplay with the consciousness of two gifted dancers. Their movements, emotions, and interactions create a vivid tapestry of the here and now, inviting the audience to reflect on their own sense of presence. Savor the beauty of this fleeting moment, the freedom of thought, and the connection between body, mind, and soul. This is the Present—raw, unfiltered, and alive—waiting to be experienced together.

The final piece, “Future” by Ukrainian choreographer Dmytro Borodai explores the cyclical nature of human relationships, societal changes, and personal transformations. At its core are women who live in harmony and share a common goal. However, this harmony disrupts. Dark forces divide the women physically and influence their consciousness. They forget their former sisterhood. Conflicts arise, along with a struggle for personal space, ultimately leading to the destruction of the symbols of their unity.
