Fertility – Ethno Contemporary Ballet
(Nina Bulgakova & Uliana Yesaulenko)
The dance performance Fertility is based on the exploration of the interplay between the feminine essence and the eternal Earth, delving into the very essence of the concept of “fertility” and the ritualistic nature of this profound interaction. In the play we explore this concept from several angles. The Woman as a symbol of Mother Earth, who gives life to all living things. The Woman, as a being who gives life to a new being in her sacred womb. The Woman as the beginning of all the beginnings.
The creators of this project are Ukrainians, whose history is intricately intertwined with cultivated soil and the ancient cult of bread. In difficult times, associated with lack of means of subsistence, they acutely felt the need and deep significance of grain and bread for survival and they blessed everything that was associated with fertility.
