The recording of this grand concert, which became a significant event in the cultural life, can now be viewed on SWEET.TV.

The complete works of Serhiy Zhadan, which he presented and from which he read, comprise 1,400 pages that include 16 poetry collections. This collection features over 700 poems written from 1993 to 2023. Each word, each rhyme resonates in unison with the heartbeat of Ukrainians. Therefore, it's worth tuning in to the recording of Serhiy Zhadan's concert "All Poems" on SWEET.TV.

“Informally – my team and I want to gather 8,000 readers for an evening of poetry for the first time in our literary history. To gather, to prove to ourselves that Ukrainians read, that Ukrainian poetry has its audience, space, and stance. For us, this will be a special evening, and it will be particularly comforting to share it with you. In these bloody, challenging times, when silence and darkness weigh heavily, it’s important to stick together, to hold on to our poetry,” noted Serhiy Zhadan before the event.

This is not the first creative evening for the musician and poet. However, Serhiy Zhadan mentions that each time, more people attend such events. This indicates a growing interest among Ukrainians in domestic culture against the backdrop of the full-scale war.

Serhiy Zhadan's concert "All Poems" is a unique poetic spectacle where everything plays a significant role – from the order of the poems to the voice and lighting. The rhythm, dramaturgy, and vivid images will paint an incredible story of the lyrical hero in your imagination. So, it’s worth tuning in to Serhiy Zhadan's concert "All Poems" on SWEET.TV, closing your eyes, and immersing yourself in the extraordinary world of poetry.
