“Since the beginning of the invasion, we feel a special responsibility, as if we were speaking to the world for the whole country: we thank you for your support, we ask for weapons and we share our pain. At the same time, we show you a part of the rich Ukrainian culture. Through our very existence, we are refuting the Russian narrative of one nation," reveals the reason for their intense concert performance.

In addition to the songs from the six albums that the band has released so far, songs written during the war years will also be performed in Prague. The concert will be accompanied by new projections created by Ukrainian artists and war photographers.
