Inclusion in School 2018

School. School playground. Classes are over, and students are having fun and noisily leaving school. The rain has just ended on the street, and there are many puddles on the asphalt. And on the passage itself - the largest and widest puddle, it is almost impossible to get around without getting your feet wet. Teenagers gather in flocks and think about how to overcome the puddle. A boy in a wheelchair appears, followed by a teenage girl. It is obvious that the guy likes the girl, and he likes him. The boy smiles and deftly puts the heroine on his lap, and, to the surprise of his classmates, transports the heroine through a large puddle in a wheelchair.

Alexander Rodin : Kateryna 2024

"Kateryna" tells the story of a Ukrainian girl whose love is betrayed by a Russian soldier. In her despair, she leaves her child alone in the forest and drowns herself in the lake. It is the opera house's largest production since Ukraine's declaration of independence. The commissioned work is based on a poem by Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861), one of Ukraine's most important lyricists. The performance is partly on instruments specially developed for the opera, which imitate sounds of nature. 800 new costumes were designed and produced in Kharkiv.

Kherson: Human Safari 2025 (10)

Kherson, Ukraine's embattled city, has endured invasion, occupation, and liberation. On February 24, 2022, Russian tanks entered Kherson, leading to brutal occupation marked by violence. Despite being outnumbered, local defense forces resisted, and citizens protested under the slogan "Kherson is Ukraine!" An underground resistance formed, led by brave individuals like journalist Valentyna and others who risked arrest and torture to support the cause. After nine months, Ukrainian forces liberated Kherson, but Russian destruction left the city in chaos. Shelling and drone attacks became relentless, and in June 2023, a dam explosion flooded the city, causing further devastation. Despite these challenges, Kherson's spirit remained unbroken, with citizens embracing arts and resilience. By August 2024, drone attacks specifically targeted civilians, yet the city resisted, determined to rebuild and reclaim its identity, refusing to succumb to ruin.
