GOGOLFEST 2015. First day.
September 17 was launched perhaps the biggest art project, which expects thousands of people every year. Yes, it is GOGOLFEST, which has been held for the eighth time, but with global changes. After this festival thing has moved to a new VDNKH a location.
The opening took place on “hurray.” Thousands of people. Immediately already worked several scenes. This alternative music scene, and the two big music scenes, and theatrical and musical underground off-stream and cinema Art and Fashion, and others.
On these scenes are held its first performances, film screenings, performances and musical performances.
The most important event was, of course, is performance-discovery, which was called-a festival slogan – “The Art of War Love Peace”. Everything is very well says, chosen, relevant and most importantly – Ukrainian exciting credo. But this is not enough! When we touch these important issues, it should have and the level of events fail to named high. As you know, this did not happen.
In the main square VDNH band played “Kyiv Camerata” under the trampoline Valery Matyukhin of Ukraine only in unusual musical instruments – karilyonom – a shock musical instrument consisting of different bells with a musical exact height. The idea is really cool, even wonderful. But it seems that the orchestra or first saw the notes or on the quality of the affected small orchestra or bad sound. As a result sounded rather false. A program has been very well selected soft – compositions Estonian composer Arvo Pärt and others. Then was electro-acoustic performance, which sounded much better.
And one culmination of the evening was a performance Power of the Trinity “Art of War”. First, the performance began 50 minutes later. Well what can I say, the first department musicians played perfectly in D minor by Bach clavier concert and “Pasakaliyu” Handel, the latter – in two interpretations: first, it completely pianist played at a furious pace, and after – the orchestra played her own, but quieter.
Against this background, the actors did several theater pieces. 15-minute intermission. Sounded some music tracks – Alfred Schnittke, Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass. The vivid action actors so no wait. Strong Only texts were taken from the same treatise Tse Sui. The audience began to diverge long before the end of the performance.Enjoy the same event was the performance of Anton Slipakova who read out their poems in music Shanti People. This happened in the pavilion alternative music.
SO impression so-so, hard to say anything definitive. Let’s see what further will.
