Today, facebook-ers mostly amazed by this video. I check on you tube, and suprised once again coz this lady really talented and creative with her gift. She is a professional sand artist who can make a touching stories, really. Kseniya Somonova. BRAVO.
Im not understand exactly the language she used, but this is kinda a symbolic situation about countries, wars, sadness, and other things related to that. Example : the loss of life, the break-up of the family coz the war… I wish for an english translation, so i can understand it well.
Even i cant understand full of it, u know… I’m really speehcless when saw it. This is an amazing artistic expression I have seen in a? long long time…. this is wonderful, who said art could not have a social message? (comment on you tube)
The words written she writes at the end : Tyi vsegda ryadom. You are? always near. The soviets took over again in 1945 after winning against the Nazi army not with out great loss.
Could u, who understand it, please share the message of her stories through her art in this video?
Can u realize, she is telling story with her fingers… And see all of their tears? Its sad.
She moved people to tears, not with her singing or her dancing, but with her ability to tell a story …. with her fingers … on sand. The background music, the story of love and war, the WWII radio recordings from the past, her poise and her mastery of her art … all? added to the ingenuity of the occasion. Her performance shows that one really should not limit talent to any conventional category. Talent can arise in the most unexpected manner. (comment on you tube by billionsmile)
And another on of his comment :
To appreciate why members of the audience cried, why she won number one spot, one need to understand the Russian broadcasts, to know Ukraine’s history, to appreciate the trace of Eastern Orthodox influence in the background music used, and to see that here was a sweet youth with masterful skills, telling the story of love and loss of the generation of her grand parents, connecting the painful memory of the older Ukrainians with the fresh perspective of the younger Ukrainians. That’s why she? won.
Songs :
@5:10 – Zhuravli (Cranes)? – music by Y.Frenkel, lyrics by R.Gamzatov, performet by Marc Bernes
@at 6:20 - orchestra version of a? metallica song “Metallica”-Title : “Nothing Else Matters”.
This is all about the horrors the Ukraine faced in WWII first from Hitler and then Stalin. Millions of Ukrainians died. Hitler’s saying: “100 Ukrainians for every 1 German Soldier” … if you don’t know history.
Wish no more wars… Hiks.
