2015

Exactly that morning, he received the proposition to create the complete show and start touring with it in Ukraine, for the beginning.

The long-awaited premiere of the show. Funny feeling of a joy and excitement. From early morning work on the stage of the conservatory. Technical employees – the screen sets, check the work of the equipment; Artists: warm up before the show, scroll in the head script to avoid forgetting any details, and it’s absolutely normal for such an important day.

Hall before the show filled with people. Beginning…

Summer 2015

You think we could have a rest? Everything is relative. When compкштп the spring intense of daily events the summer was rather quiet. But we didn’t left without work. Charitable festivals, presentation of the car, besides of giving more than ten shows. And of course, the repetitions.

4th October- December 8th

Main place of action: bus

Autumn tour was different from the spring only because we visited, in addition to Ukraine, European countries.

Few experiences. You know, for someone touring can seem like an exciting adventure, but the reality is not as romantic as the human imagination. Summarize, how it happens: in the morning everyone goes to the bus, there, usually everyone sleep (especially after 3-4 days), hours of moving, a new city, enjoying the sights (probably) out of the window, the preparations for the show, the show, 2 minutes of the euphoria, bus, hotel, rest, in the morning everyone goes to bus. No romance, but it named noisy: “tour” …
