“Malankamodena” – this is how the performance was named because of the wings being outwardly similar to the dress of real Malanka. To a greater extent, this project was the response to the challenge of the place with a thousand-year history. As usual in mythology, this is a certain struggle of different principles. The topic of the embodiment of other entities in the physical shell of the present.

They capture the souls of the living so that they protect the city. Everyone who gets into the city of the Scythians becomes a sentry. This is the area of their possession, that’s why they force people to protect history. The story is alive; the spirits that are living there give or take away our energy. We can’t see spirits, ancestors, wars, annexations, but we can feel their presence, their direct impact on us. History guides us, it strives for respect and memory.
However, things may be different. These might be actually the seeds that sprout, become phoenix birds, burn out and, after a while, appear again to remind about their existence. These are changing, unstable guards of the myths.
This is a great miracle to see these bizarre birds alive.
This is a sign of significant changes in the world.
