“After the Nativity” is an annual project exploring the themes of the traditional Ukrainian holidays of Christmas, New Year and Epiphany.
Maisternia Pisni will present the lyrics of ancient Christmas carols in the modern embodiment of song and video art. The group has created a new artistic idiom which – as its members say – carries the mystery of birth and the taste of the source that we all come from and constantly search for.

Maisternia Pisni is a centre for artistic research organised in 2003 in Lviv along the lines of a medieval guild emphasising the master-apprentice relationship. The artistic work of Maisternia Pisni occupies the intersection between theatre and traditional music. Undertaking traditional forms of singing, Maisternia finds a trace blazed by generations leading to what is personal and unique but can be passed to another person. Seen from this perspective, traditional song goes beyond the aesthetic and becomes a vehicle of knowledge, a form of study and therapy, a life-changing experience.
