Solutions to win: MUR creative association raises over $120,000 for Ukraine's military
During the second wave of the all-Ukrainian tour, the MUR creative association put on 25 shows commemorating the Executed Renaissance and raised a substantial sum for the needs of Ukraine's armed forces.
This was reported in the association's press center, according to ShoTam.
As reported in the press service, it was possible to collect 5.2 million hryvnias as a result of the tour.
As an integral part of the tour, auctions were conducted featuring various items, including a 3D model of the Slovo House created by MUR's art department and other auxiliary items. One notable sale in Lviv was a Kyiv chestnut purchased for 30,000 hryvnias. Additionally, audiences were treated to a performance of the musical "You [Romance]," a tribute to the writers of the Executed Renaissance. The collected funds were directed to the specific needs of the Defense Forces, in particular:- 3.1 million hryvnias for Magura drones for Ukraine's intelligence;
- 675 thousand hryvnias for the needs of the 409th separate rifle battalion;
- 100,000 hryvnias for a car for the 11th Special Forces Battalion;
- 150 thousand hryvnias for the 153rd Separate Mechanized Brigade on the Kharkiv front;
- One million hryvnias, collected by MUR artists and their supporters, as part of the Big Collection on Magura for Ukraine's intelligence.
MUR is a creative organization that brings people together over significant ideals: love for Ukraine, a yearning for freedom, and solidarity with those defending Ukrainian territory.
The group announced a tour of Ukraine with the musical "You [Romantic]" about the writers of the Executed Renaissance back in April. As part of the tour, they planned to visit 16 cities of Ukraine and end with a concert in Kyiv.
The performance is performed by 14 actors, 12 dancers, and five musicians. Viktor Tkachenko, the composer of the album "You [Romantic]", composed the music, Inna Matiushina directed the choreography, Lesia Patoka's studio created costumes for the entire troupe.
