The ninth Days of Performance Art in Lviv took place in September ‒ it wakened artists from all over Ukraine from their summer slumber, brought about a wave of foreign artists, united curious youngsters around performance art, and provided its participants and viewers with experiences worth sharing.
Traditionally, the festival combined the School of Performance and displays and attracted unexpectedly vast audience not only to the shows, but also to the School’s studies. In unison with the stated theme, the festival boosted environment up, and, as organizers said, this year it reached its peak within the accustomed format. Performers from Belarus, Israel, Germany, Poland and Ukraine participated in the festival. Altogether, in four days 18 performances took place, and more than 20 students demonstrated their work on the School’s final.
Autumn in Lviv traditionally begins with contemporary art and activation
of the art performances in urban space.
The eighth International Festival of Performance Days of Performance Art in Lviv (the first was in the far 2008) – unique and only in Ukraine – will take place on 2 – 6 of September. This year the performances are combined with the events ofEastern Partnership Culture Congress that also takes place in Lviv in those days.
