CAP UCLA Welcomes Back Ukrainian Quartet DakhaBrakha Following Sold-Out 2022 Engagement
UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) welcomes the return of Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha to The Theatre at Ace Hotel following their raucous sold-out 2022 engagement on Saturday, March 11 at 8 pm. Ticket prices start at $39 and are available now at cap.ucla.edu, 310-825-2101 and at The Theatre at Ace Hotel box office.
DakhaBrakha was founded in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art "DAKH'' by theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi. Meaning "give/take" in the old Ukrainian language, their name signals the quartet's unique brand of musical "ethno-chaos." By breaking down stylistic barriers and exploring shared resonances, DakhaBrakha re-territorializes foreign timbres into their own folk theater vernacular, giving new form to old customs and creating an exuberant, entirely new, trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
