By night the company performed A Night on Polonyna , a mythological tale of love, mountains, monsters and sheep. In four short days the company produced a piece based on a traditional Ukrainian wedding, complete with singing, dancing and music. While on Merseyside Ternopil managed to arrange performances at Liverpool Town Hall and for local Ukrainian Associations. The festival was a fantastic experience for everyone involved. Many of the Ukrainian youngsters had never left their homeland before and enjoyed their time in Liverpool immensly.
Catalyst hope to pay a return visit to the Ukraine very soon.
Dah Teatar made a brief stop on Merseyside during a tour that had already taken them across Europe and wowed the audience with Angel's Memories - a sad tale of the sufferings of their homeland. While on Merseyside they also performed for evening drinkers in Concert Square, Liverpool and for shoppers at the Grange Precinct, Wirral. Dah encouraged the artists to bring personal objects to the workshop and to focus a performance on them. They demonstrated their own working methods and encouraged the development of the individual's own methods during the sessions. The kids from Fazakerley were hardly prepared for the spectacle that is Pan Pan Theatre.
