"Chornobyldorf" was created by Ukrainian composers Roman Hryhoriv and Illya Razumeyko, who combined folk and classical singing with theater, dance, and unique musical instruments. The media opera tells the story of humanity's descendants who survived numerous disasters and, in a post-society setting, attempt to revive the lost civilization through archaeological performance rituals.

The UK/Ukraine Cultural Season is a bilateral program created by the Ukrainian Institute and the British Council to enhance creative and cultural exchange between Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
