With You, The Unknown Becomes An Adventure

“With You, The Unknown Becomes An Adventure” is a community impression performance created by participants of Tisto Studio’s From Presence to Performance course in New York. This is not a traditional play, but an abstract collective odyssey in which the performers are real people—not professional actors—exploring body, voice, presence, and connection. Through body movement, personal text, live sound, and collective images, the performers search for a way home: to themselves, to their people, and to presence, by exploring the themes of war, displacement, selfhood, belonging, and the courage to be seen in a world that feels unstable and unfamiliar.

This performance is directed by Igor Kliuchnyk, founder of Tisto Studio, and co-created by Maria Vaniieva.

Tisto Studio is a New York-based experiential studio that uses acting, improvisation, and performance tools to help non-actors build presence, confidence, communication, and human connection.

Tickets are available on Zeffy. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open at 2:30 PM. All proceeds from ticket sales support the Ukrainian Museum and its cultural mission.

Admission to the Ukrainian Museum’s new exhibition, A Living Canvas: The Ukrainian Museum at 50, is included with this ticket purchase. A Living Canvas: The Ukrainian Museum at 50 traces the formal elements that illustrate the deep affinities between the fine and folk-art creations of Ukrainian masters—works that, collectively, express a worldview of hope and expectation, an ever-present quality of the Ukrainian sensibility.
