“Expelled from Paradise” in Horodenka. The first tours of the drama-concert of Halyna Barankevych (VIDEO STORY)
About 20 authentic songs combined with stage action recreate the life, customs and culture of the Lemkos before and after their expulsion from their homeland. Idea and implementation - Honored Artist of Ukraine Halyna Barankevych. The author of the scenario is Taisiia Liuta. The stage director is People's Artist of Ukraine Rostyslav Derzhypilskyi.
The drama-concert "Expelled from Paradise" is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Operation Vistula. The tragedy of many thousands of Lemkos, who were forcibly evicted from their native villages, was kept silent for a very long time. It was forbidden to talk about what happened, about the people who suffered.
This drama-concert aims not only to popularize the Lemko song, but also to revive it and introduce the current generation to the deep layer of Lemko folk culture. Video story following the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kx-WDwqEY8&feature=share
