A heartfelt charity event dedicated to supporting Ukraine
Ukrainian choreographers and performers Vladyslav Detiuchenko en Veronika Rakitina are organizing a second evening in Korzo for the victims of the war in Ukraine. Their mission is to raise awareness for Ukraine's courageous struggle for independence and freedom, whilst gathering vital funds to assist those in urgent need. They are committed to providing medical supplies, equipment, and humanitarian aid to those affected by this ongoing crisis.They are programming a special evening of dance and music performances. 100% of the proceeds will go to the charitable organization Netherlands 4 Ukraine. The program will be announced soon.
On the 24th of February 2025 it will have been three years since Russia invaded Ukraine. This event will take place in that same week.
In the first Light in Darkness event was remarkably successful, raising 20,000
euros through ticket sales and exclusive artworks by Casper Faassen, specially created for the
occasion. These funds were crucial in purchasing and delivering a fully equipped ambulance
to Ukraine.
We cannot remain silent as we witness the heartbreaking events unfolding in our homeland. This is why we are returning with a renewed commitment, in collaboration with Korzo, to bring together talented artists from Ukraine, the Netherlands, and beyond on one stage. Join us in creating a powerful space where art transcends borders, serving as a symbol of unity, solidarity, and resilience. Together, we can inspire hope, foster community, and illuminate the path toward a brighter future for those impacted by the war. Your presence is essential in helping us rekindle the light where it is needed most.
Light in Darkness is proud to partner with Nederlandse 4 Ukraine (NL4UA), a Dutch ANBI
non-profit foundation supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. NL4UA’s core
mission is to support Ukrainian patients and the healthcare sector in Ukraine. In partnership
with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and Dutch hospitals, NL4UA has arranged over 125
