MEMORIAL CEREMONY "RED VIBURNUM"

For the fourth consecutive year, Bouquet Kyiv Stage opens with the memorial ceremony Red Viburnum, honoring the artists who gave their lives defending Ukraine during the full-scale war.

The festival begins with silence. A minute of silence becomes a gesture of gratitude and remembrance for those who stood in defense of Beauty—the central theme of this year's festival.

The viburnum tree we planted has survived another harsh winter. It has endured. It has grown stronger. So has our memory, which does not fade with time but gains new strength.

This year, we will once again gather beside it, bow our heads in gratitude, and remember every one of them.

Soldiers are honored with gun salutes.
Artists are honored with the bells of Saint Sophia.
