Dive in
Renaissance (Ukraine)
Shot in one take, on multiple cameras, this futuristic response to the Renaissance mixes new texts with a Shakespearean sonnet, and original music by renowned ‘ethno-chaos’ band DakhaBrakha - symbolising the aesthetics of canvas as weaving "the canvas of life".
...Renaissance...is a rebirth when you realize your roots and begin to move upwards - to the manifestation of life... to the light...it's a reflection about life and death... about who you are in this world... why you're here... and the formation of dreams...there's a dream in the Renaissance... the emergence of the joy of life... the sense of human dignity... multi-talented and versatility... the premonition of a dream of a new life... which may be utopia?
The allusion of a classical civilization ... perhaps ruined ... forgotten ... There's the aesthetics of canvas as weaving - weave "the canvas of life"
The modern world is in disarray... there is an ideological and aesthetic generational divide in culture
How to find a common "language of encounter"?
