Join us for a movement-based gathering where the body becomes a living archive, carrying memory, resistance, and cultural survival. Through physical theatre and co-creation, participants will explore the power of the individual and collective body as a vessel for protecting oppressed cultures.

The experience concludes with a showing of ДрімМати (Dream-Mother), a developing work responding to the sleepless nights shaped by war and resilience in Ukraine.
