Content:

In Kiev's centre for contemporary art "Dakh" theatre is performed, rehearsals, performances and concerts take place. The children's choir "Shchedryk" also continues to practise in Kiev. On the city's largest stage, the Ivan Franko Theatre, Brecht's "The Resistible Rise of of Arturo Ui" is being staged for the current occasion. The painter Oleksandr Liapin is showing his disturbing series of works "My Head Explodes".
What occupies the minds and hearts of artists in Ukraine? What does it mean to create art under permanent threat and fear? Who do they reach with it? And what does the solidarity of artists from abroad mean to them? The British graffiti artist Banksy travelled undercover to Kiev and painted graffiti on walls for the people of Ukraine.
