Discover Modern Ukrainian Ballet in 360 degrees

The ballet Fates does not give an unequivocal answer to these questions. Rather, these are reflections on the topics of human destinies, meetings and losses.

People are living their peaceful city life: a man is waiting on his beloved, cheerful students are hurrying to class, girls are walking around the city enjoying a beautiful day, a photographer is capturing the moments of a megapolis’s life that will never happen again…

The apartments of a Guy and a Girl. Both of them are living their own lives, with their worries and mood swings, hardly ever wondering who could be living behind the wall. Fate interferes with their lives. 

The apartment of Antihero. A disconcerted young man enters and turns on the TV. The flow of information about recent events completely consumes him, makes him panic. Afterward, however, “sobered up” from fear, he decides to use the circumstances and become one of the “greats”...

Scene 4: "A married couple"

The apartment of a married couple that has lived together for many years. An irreparable loss, the death of their child took away all the meaning from their family life. Fate interferes here as well. A young woman with a baby in her arms burst into their apartment. 

The apartment of a Photographer and his Wife. Through his camera, he can see things that many cannot, although, after each trip, he gets more and more grey hair. The Photographer looks out of the window. What he sees makes him grab his camera and run outside.

Now, the city hardly looks like something it used to be. Antihero appears. Having mastered the art of informational influence, he lines people up as an obedient herd. The people turn into submissive “chess pieces”.

In the heat of the moment, Antihero snatches the camera from the photographer’s hands. Using it as a gun, he presses the shutter button, making people disappear. He points the camera at the photographer’s wife. Only Antihero, insane from realizing his power over people, is left.
