Tampere Dance Current: Anastasia Krasnoshchoka: Flowers also cry

“Flowers also cry” is a dance performance that pays tribute to the untold stories of courageous women in the russian war against Ukraine. Five international dancers make up the cast. The hour-long piece leads the audience through a string of different scenes, all taking inspiration from true experiences lived by women in Ukraine. Ultimately, the performance showcases the essence of hope and resilience, demonstrating the unyielding spirit that rises above challenges.

“Flowers also cry” is not only a portrayal of the trials and tribulations; it’s an ode to strength and determination. The work aims to put a human face to the heart-wrenching stories of war and witness the beauty that emerges from the darkest moments.
