‘MixTape’
Ukrainian artist and calligrapher Taras Makar created a painting after listening to a song, attempting to depict his feelings and the associations it evoked in him. “MixTape,” an exhibition that kicks off next week, is a series of such paintings about songs. At the exhibition’s opening on Sept. 12, Makar and Nebo Publishing House will also present an art book featuring the same paintings, which will be available for purchase.

Dakh Daughters and TseSho
Two cabaret bands originating from Kyiv’s “Dakh” theater will share the stage of Atlas club. One is TseSho, a quintet of young actors-musicians playing a “social puppet cabaret” – a reflection on what ails them in modern life, reinforced by the grotesque use of their puppet doubles. They will be an opening act for DakhDaughters – a widely-toured all-female seven-piece band, whose act can go from “freak” to “dark” cabaret. Both bands use a wide range of instruments and variety of styles – from lyrical folk to growling punk rock.
Dakh Daughters and TseSho. Atlas (37-41 Sichovykh Striltsiv St.) Sept. 12. 7 p.m. Hr 500-950
