  • Episode #6. Roman Grygoriv and Illia Razumeiko’s Archeological Operas

    This episode provides an overview of the major works by award-winning composer duo Roman Grygoriv and Illia Razumeiko – creators of 12 operas and founders of Opera Aperta, a laboratory of experimental opera in Kyiv. Plunging into their unique archeological process of creation, we position their work alongside the music and the ideas of major 20th – 21st century artists and intellectuals: Richard Foreman, David Lynch, Jorge Louis Borges, Umberto Eco, Les Kurbas, Hanna Havrylets, Karlheinz Essel, and Jorge Sánchez-Chiong.

    Grygoriv and Razumeiko’s Chornobyldorf won the Opera and Music Theatre Award by the Royal Philharmonic Society in 2024 and received eight sold-out shows at LaMaMa Experimental Theatre Club in New York. Their most recent work, GAIA-24. Opera del Mondo, will be presented at O.Festival in Rotterdam and at the Venice Biennale.

      • Episode #5 Valentyn Silvestrov’s Endless Melodies and the “End of History”

        “I think that creativity, which is evidence of the artistic path, is not merely a set of examples of different stages of development; rather, it transcends the temporary cultural situation in some mysterious way – this is the hope of every author.” Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov (b. 1937) wrote this in a letter to a friend in 1978, and his creative work indeed exemplifies the balance between timeliness and timelessness that characterizes the most compelling art. While tracing his artistic path from the avant-garde period of the 1960s, to quietness and simplicity triggered by his interest in Zen Buddhism, to his never-ending postludes and sublime bagatelles, we contemplate his intriguing statements about music and “the end of history.”

        Having lived most of his life in Kyiv, Silvestrov recently began to respond to historical events. The episode ends with his vocal works dedicated to the 2014 Maidan protests and piano pieces motivated by his 2022 forced emigration to Berlin.
