DAKH Kiev Centre of Contemporary Arts was found by the businessman, maecenas, producer, director and actor Vladislav Troitskyi who became its art head. The centre was opened on 12th of November, 1994 and gradually turned into mighty cell of creative experimental activity searching for dynamic synthesis of different methods of acting and directing arts. One of the most important tasks of the centre was determined by V. Troitskyi as upbringing of universal actor of new type able to realize on a deep level each word and act of his personage, analyze spiritual sources of creativity and acting at the same time staying natural and convincing on a stage. And all that without a professional training.
Thus, the singular art school of DAKH was formed combining achievements of realistic theatre of Vladimir Ogloblin, text theatre of Igor Lysov, intellectual clownery theatre of Valeryi Bilchenko, psychological and mistrial theatre of Boris Yukhananov, zero ritual of playwright and director Klim. Besides the plays directed by V. Ogloblin such as Vassa Zheleznova by M. Gorkyi, Shelmenko the Batman by G. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko, Krechinskyis Wedding by O. Suhovo-Kobylin the repertoire of the theatre was enriched by V. Troitskyis own project seven days with an Idiot - the plays based on Klims (Vladimir Klimenko) pieces put-up as unwritten chapters of F. Dostoevskyis novel Idiot. As the results of common work of Troitskyi and Klim such plays as Dostoevskyi-Chesterton: Crime Paradoxes or the Lonely Riders of Apocalypse, Love Den or Ukrainian Decameroune and Girl with Matches were born.
Being interested in folklore and authentic Ukrainian singing V. Troitskyi in spring 2004 founded ethno-chaos band DakhaBrakha that unites traditions of performing and music instruments of different nations and in summer of the same year he started student theatre. Thats notably widened creative possibilities of DAKH and allowed to its art head to carry through the project Mystic Ukraine that includes three Shakespearian pieces: Prologue to Macbeth, Richard III. Prologue, King Lear. Prologue. They were successfully presented at the time of touring in Moscow, London and on many theatre festivals in Ukraine, Poland and Hungary.
