Bulgarian Memories

We had an amazing time in Bulgaria working, playing, and performing with the astonishing singers of Le Mystére des Voix Bulgares in 2002. Here is our on-line chronicle of our Bulgarian adventure, complete with photos and journal entries! Heartfelt thanks the many individuals and organizations who contributed towards our Balkan travel fund and enabled us to realize this dream-journey!

The Rusalka Cycle

KITKA’s adventurous vocal-theater project The Rusalka Cycle: Songs Between the Worlds premiered in November 2005 to packed houses and overwhelming response in Oakland, California. Our work with composer/performance artist Mariana Sadovska, and stage director Ellen Sebastian Chang challenged and stretched us into some very exciting new forms of creative expression, and we, as artists have been deeply transformed by this experience. In January 2008, Kitka revised and remounted The Rusaka Cycle at the Eugene and Elinor Friend Center for the Performing Arts at the JCC in San Francisco and at Tricklock Company's 8th Annual Revolutions International Theatre Festival in Albuquerque, NM.

 

“Travel back through the centuries, and then listen to KITKA. These eight women provide the heart and soul of this production, creating a nasal, dissonant sound that gives voice to human suffering. It’s a lament that creeps into your consciousness in the most subtle way. The voices of that marvelous chorus produces shivers.”

Patti Hartigan, The Boston Globe
