Ethno Contemporary Ballet: 4308

4308 expresses the boundless thirst for freedom and struggle for the independence of Ukraine, resilience, courage and strength, which are vital components for fighters.

The artistic project "4308" is the result of collaboration between composer Ignas Yuzokas (LT), drummer Gintautas Gaskavicus (LT), and the dance theater Ethno Contemporary Ballet (UA).

This project attempts to convey the impressions of fear and hope experienced by soldiers and showcases the incredible strength of the human spirit awakened when people face the trials of challenging times. The code "4308" has become a symbol of invincibility and belief in victory. Countless stories of civilians and military personnel from Ukraine have shaken Europe, and the power of emotions embedded in these narratives has found expression in the works of international artists.

The music of Ignas Juzokas, which was the initial step in the creation of the performance "4308", was the composer's response to the story of the people who survived the 86-day-long siege of the city of Mariupol in 2022, 82 of which were spent in complete encirclement.
