Leaf fall has quietly crept up on its lingering boards and gray weather, which can be rolled out from the bark, and even this weekend in Kiev there will be a number of useful springs – such as important exhibitions before full-fledged music festival. We've collected five ideas for where to go in the capital this weekend.
Exhibition “Ukraine at the Worldwide Exhibition EXPO 2025”
After six months in Japan, the Ukrainian pavilion “Not For Sale” is returning home. In two years, the Ukrainian House will become a place where you can see an exhibition that has collected over three million people and won two cities in the categories “Best Activation or Engagement” and “Exhibition Design”.

The concept of the Ukrainian pavilion at EXPO is “a store where you can’t buy anything.” The exhibits included 18 objects that symbolize democratic values: freedom of speech, the right to choice, humanity, and so on—those that lie at the basis of whatever may happen. The skin contains a barcode, which can be read by dispensers using special store scanners. After this, instead of prices, video stories from Ukraine appear on the screen to show the current “price” that Ukrainians will pay in the future. After the completion of EXPO, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine brings the project to Ukraine.

“The foundation of a futuristic place, which is powered by the artificial intelligence of CYNTHIA, is one of the most humorous fantasies that has become a reality. The doors of the Black! Factory station are designed for guests, mortals and all those for whom the tracking of new worlds is not necessary. 7 foreign artists, 2 dance floors and a double market between them – if people are ready to overhaul the system, I will understand for myself and listen to them. her on equal terms?”, – intrigue with Black! Factory and ask for additional information.

Premiere of the show “The Tales of Hoffmann”
The National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater of Ukraine named after T. G. Shevchenko will host the premiere of Jacques Offenbach's opera “The Tales of Hoffmann” staged by Ivan Urivsky.
“The Tales of Hoffmann” is the remaining opera of the French composer Jacques Offenbach, which became the toolbox of his creative path. With the popularity of both the author of operas and vaudevilles, Offenbach decided to create a serious dramatic work that would capture the depth of music and symbolism of the literary plot. The production, directed by Ivan Urivsky, is one of the most beautiful contemporary theatrical events in Ukraine.
