The loop – the project
The musical piece “The loop“ that Insomnia Taxxi plans to work with during the residency is a fragment that will complement the project “Stars in Black Water” – an audiovisual performance dedicated to nature, architecture, and places of power in the region where she spent her childhood and adolescence; in the vicinity of Oleshki, a small town in southern Ukraine, which has been under occupation by Russian military since February 2022, resulting in terrible destruction, suffering of local residents, and ecocide.
The loop in the focus of the musical episode
“The Loop” is a convent built in Oleshki in 1905, which functioned as a shelter
for orphaned girls on the territory of which they lived and studied.
In the 50s of the last century, the convent was destroyed due to political
reasons coming from Moscow, and in 2010 the local community began
rebuilding the church on the remains of the original foundation.
One of the volunteers of this reconstruction is Iryna Novikova’s father,
He personally installed a cross on the church tower.
At the time of the full-scale invasion, the church was already functioning as a
center of social attraction and only the dome remained to be built.
Currently, the building is in critical condition, after the Russian army blew up
the Kakhovka reservoir, the church was flooded, the upper floor was partially
destroyed by a shell fragment, and it was subjected to total robbery and
vandalism.
Thus, the church will relive its fate and we can observe a historical loop.
Save the date!
