Balaklava Blues @ Kilkenny Arts Festival 2019

Saturday, 10 August 2019, 9.30pm

Anyone who saw Counting Sheep, their award-winning ‘guerilla folk opera’, or danced the night away with the Lemon Bucket Orkestra back in 2017, will need no introduction to Mark and Marichka Marczyk. This year we’re delighted to welcome back the exuberant duo with a brand new show, Balaklava Blues.

Balaklava Bluessets the Marczyks’ heart-stopping traditional vocals to a range of propulsive electronic dance beats, performed against a mind-blowing backdrop of documentary footage from the front lines of Ukraine’s Maidan revolution. At once hard-hitting and surreal, Balaklava Blues transports you into the heart of war-torn Ukraine with a unique mix of powerful singing and impossibly danceable tunes.
