Myths of #WitchesSabbaths unholy dances & satanic pacts under a full moon at #LysaHora “Bald Mountain” in the hills of #Kyiv, entered popular culture through #NikolaiGogol’s Ukrainian tales & #ModestMussorgsky’s orchestral fantasy “Night on Bald Mountain”, where St. John sees witches’ revels. Here, legend, literature & music keep the mystery & dark aura alive #UkrainianMyths

Cloaked in mystery & nestled into the spacious green surroundings of the historic #PecherskFortress ruin, is #Kyiv’s #GreenTheatre. An open-air #Amphitheatre known for its vibrant artistic cultural performances, legends of 9 underground floors where #YaroslavtheWise’s library is hidden, nearby infant graves & a phantom host that haunts - add to its eerie aura. #UkrainianMyths

#AllaHorska’s #Mosaics have been systematically targeted & destroyed by Soviet authorities as an act of #CulturalErasure since her murder in 1970. Marked a ‘Ukrainian Bourgeois Nationalist’ most of her #Kyiv work is gone. In #Mariupol, leaders hid mosaics #LifeTree & #Kestrel to save them, but the fate of #BannerOfVictory in the East is uncertain #AllaHorskaMosaic #UkrainianArt

Every costume worn by the #Berehynya troupe is based on the real folk attire of #CentralUkraine. Led by folklorists & “People’s Artists” of Ukraine, Berehynya is the country’s only professional troupe devoted to researching & reviving true #UkrainianFolklore. In #Kyiv, they turn rituals, songs & dances into powerful expressions of intangible #UkrainianHeritage & #FolkArt.
