Balls, masquerades, elegant movements, and the unofficial anthem of Austria. And all this in a delicious visual wrapping from the famous academic theater Kyiv Modern-Ballet. Intrigued? Then come to the ballet-performance “On the Beautiful Blue Danube” at MCKM!

A comedic elegy in the rhythm of the ball

The talented Radu Poklitaru reworked the classic plot, developing a completely new concept and libretto of the performance. His stage fantasy, born from Strauss's music, transports the audience to an imaginary 19th-century Vienna – not just as a historical backdrop, but as an ironic play with styles, eras, and human weaknesses. Here, lavish Viennese balls, flirtations, and theatrical disguises become the background for a masterfully constructed choreographic intrigue.

In the performance “On the Beautiful Blue Danube”, contemporary physical theater is skillfully combined with elements of ballroom dances from the Art Nouveau era-, and the plot is filled with elegant humor and love adventures. Radu Poklitaru’s authorship allows avoiding clichés and creates a unique new vision where outstanding music, irony, and choreography merge into one. This must be seen!

A theatrical delicacy from Kyiv Modern-Ballet

Radu Poklitaru has repeatedly proven that he can reimagine the most famous works in his own special way. Thus, Kyiv Modern-Ballet's repertoire has included “The Little Prince”, “Viy”, “The Long Christmas Dinner”, “Women in D Minor” and others. Therefore, there is no doubt about the uniqueness and genius of the performance “On the Beautiful Blue Danube”.

A special decoration of the ballet will be the digital video scenography by Olga Nikitina. It turns into a living partner for the artists. This visual space breathes in unison with Strauss’s passionate music, reflects the inner states of the characters, multiplies the stage images, and adds profound meaning to the entire production.

The performance “On the Beautiful Blue Danube” from Kyiv Modern-Ballet – is a brilliant choreographic celebration where lightness and playful tonality combine with artistry, wit, and aesthetic sophistication. Come and enjoy modern ballet!
