SKARБ at The Cockpit

Created By: Alesia Mankouskaya and Evelina Shchadryna

SKAR is a one-off Folk Oratorio in Cabaret Style rooted in Belarusian folk music and storytelling, exploring the deep connection between nature, ancestry, and identity. Through live music, traditional songs, and theatrical narrative, the piece follows a journey of self-discovery, asking: Who are we? Where are we from? What is national identity?

Set in today’s urban world, it draws on the worldview of traditional communities to evoke a shared cultural memory. The performance will be followed by a Q&A, inviting the audience into dialogue about heritage, belonging, and the enduring call of our origins.

Based on poetry by Hanna Komar.
