The composers of the Nova Opera artist group, Roman Hryhoriv and Ilya Razumeiko, are presenting their new creation, the opera “Chornobyldorf.” Inspired by the consequences of the world’s worst nuclear accident in Chornobyl, the composers wrote a piece that fantasizes about the far post-capitalist future of humanity. The opera portrays the survivors of a series of catastrophic events, who try to rebuild the civilization through performing rituals. Performed in Ukrainian, Latin, German and Italian, “Chornobyldorf” will feature various folk instruments.
