​Dakh Daughters

A chaotic but incisive cabaret from Ukrainian revolutionists .
The seven women in Dakh Daughters do as they please . They call the genre freak cabaret , and have positioned themselves in a noman ’ s land between theatre and music . Every song is a spectacle and a story in itself . The attitude is punk , the dance is burlesque ballet and the music is electronica and folk .
With whitened faces , sooty eyes and blood-red lips they look as if they have stepped straight out of a silent movie . But Dakh Daughters do not make a habit of being silent or sitting still . The ensemble made a courageous , uncompromising decision in 2013 when they performed
in Independence Square in Kiev during the protests , which eventually led to the Ukrainian revolution .
All of the members are both actors and musicians , and as the name of the ensemble suggests , they are all children of the DAKH Centre of Contemporary Arts in Ukraine . The responsibilities of the members of the ensemble include singing , screaming , speaking , dancing , acting , doing stunts and playing fifteen different instruments .
