Festival "Surrealism. A view into the XXI century" 2001
Kharkov, Ukraine
22.XII at 18.00 "When Always was Never"
"White Theatre". Performance of dynamic light-painting.
Author and director - Natalia Krjukovskaya
Choreography - Alexandr Guk
Music - Hafler-Trio

In the performance's core lies a mytho-poetical idea about creation, existence and destruction of the world. From Chaos - the absolute unity of space and time - a paradoxal being is born: a white bat, created by darkness.
It represents all which is real: celestial and underground world, light and darkness....But by its very existence, Bat becomes a reason of the further breaking up of Chaos into the parts, which then unite in a harmonious system of Cosmos. According to the principles of mytho-poetical system, a ritual act of creation is undertaken by priests for not to allow premature "corruption" and destruction of the world.
