A young woman emerging into womanhood enters a space traditionally reserved for the initiation ritual of two people.

The Ukrainian dancer Mariia Yakobchuk (based in Berlin) and the Ukrainian director Kateryna Gornostai (based in Kyiv) chose this place for their project intentionally. The Vilnius Palace of Marriage, opened in 1974, is highly reminiscent of Soviet-era modernist architecture in Ukraine. Mariia’s dance represents her emerging womanhood in a space traditionally meant for the initiation ritual of two people.
