Pur:Pur

Tolstoy restaurant

(19, vul. Velyka Vasylkivska, Kyiv)

The Kharkiv-based indie-pop band will welcome the audience on the first day of spring with its new album, Nevertheless, as the product of its experimental endeavours. Pur:Pur has found a new sound in this album. This can be felt as soon as the band hits the first notes. The album has 9 cocktail tracks of electronic and acoustic tunes intertwined with the singer’s vibrant vocals. Nevertheless is the band’s second fully-fledged album, following their debut record Pure, released in 2010 and several mini albums.

Until 3 March

From Inside

The Dream Museum

(55, vul. Chyhorina, Kyiv)

An unusual show of photographs made in the oil print technique, offers the viewer two series. One is The Play Mirror by Oleksiy Buistov, and the other one is From the Kingdom of Hades by Serhiy Yefanov. Both series are dynamic: From the Kingdom of Hades reflects the movement of images and powers ascending from the other world of darkness into that of people. The Play Mirror reaches beyond the boundaries of reality into the mirror world.  The old archaic printing technique and strange images encourage people to look deeper into their minds.

Bebe

Crystal Hall

The Latin Grammy Awards-winning singer Bebe will play her first gig in Ukraine.

The second album called Y punto has gone gold in the USA, Italy, Argentina and Columbia.

Crystal Hall

Old hit songs will gain a new sound, and new songs will become favourites. Musicians say that everyone in the audience will be happy, no matter whether it is fans or just the lovers of good music.

Sukhishvili

Palats Sportu (Sports Palace)

(1, Sportyvna Ploshcha, Kyiv)

The National Georgian Ballet Sukhishvili, managed by the third dynasty of its founders, includes 100 dancers and its own orchestra. They have been described as the eighth wonder of the world and a hurricane on stage. Their dances with swords have been banned, yet every concert was sold out. They have crashed stages. They got a gold medal from the Queen of England. The ballet travelled rhe 5 continents ten times over. La Scala called them back with a standing ovation 14 times after their performance in Milan. You can’t miss it!
