For over four hundred years, the work “Romeo and Juliet” has been considered a true hymn of love, overcoming all obstacles in its path. To the music of the great S. Prokofiev, Daria Kotyuh visualized the temperamental images of the main characters, creating her own sand symphony.

“... It can be said that such a combination of a live orchestra and sand drawings is an utterly delightful act. The artist managed to catch the mood, the very essence of the work, disturbing the thinnest strings of the soul. The sand itself embodies the temporality of everything that happens, sweeping, erasing the past and leaving a turn for the future. ”
