received unique and highly original treatment never seen before in the world art. Current lamentable state of Ukraine’s
culture and estimated high production costs of the project are major impediments in realization in this artistic endeavor.
Therefore a highly selective search of backers as well as suitable hosting location is on the way to ensure the project’s realization.
