Downtown Variety: Ukraine Edition

La MaMa and CultureHub team up with Nashi Experimental Theatre Club to create a special edition of Downtown Variety, an online live performance series that features short acts of dance, music, theater, new media, comedy, A/V performance, and more. Downtown Variety brings La MaMa’s 1960s café aesthetic to a virtual platform that links performers and audiences in real time across distance.

This is a recording of an interactive livestream that showcased five emerging Ukrainian multidisciplinary theatre companies on the virtual stage. Downtown Variety: Ukraine Edition gives international audiences a unique window into the true experiences of Ukrainians living under the shadow of war. Experience the bravery and creativity it takes to create in the face of destruction.

Featuring performances by
Schmalgauzen, Vidlik Projects, Tinyova, AMÆNTES, and Dima Levytskyi
Direction by
Romana Isabella Soutus

Downtown Variety is presented within La MaMa and CultureHub’s Experiments in Digital Storytelling Program. Downtown Variety is powered by LiveLab, a browser-based media-router for collaborative performance developed by CultureHub.
