INSTITUT 023 | Candlelight Poetry Night | SERHII TITOV & KIRILL SAVRANSKY

Love poems in a basement, piano in the dark and probably more candles than we usually allow underground.

Vol 23: Ukrainian poet SERHII TITOV reads on love, vulnerability and the trouble of holding onto either, with KIRILL SAVRANSKY at the piano. An intimate night of poetry and live music by candlelight. Grab a drink, find a seat and bring someone you like. Or don't.

This is part of INSTITUT's UKRAINIAN HERITAGE MONTH volume - music, film, art and story, all Ukrainian for this showcase month.

Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

Come early at 7PM for KRYVA KOSA - Balkan, Baltic and Slavic village folk music in an open acoustic rehearsal.
