HISTORY

Our actors started performing in first in Ukraine theatre on stilts - Kyiv Experimental Theatre, directed by Anatolii Petrov.

Premiere of the full street show by Highlights took place in Chernivtsi in 2012. Since that time we already visited more 20 countries on different continents with our performances. Many estivals invite us to program, "Golden Lion" in Lviv is a biggest street theatre event in Ukraine. Also a lot of polish festivals like "Ulica" Krakow,  "Sztuka ulicy" Warsaw or oldest street art festival in Jelenia Góra, were is located well known stiltwalker statue Szczudlarz Jeleniogórski. 

In 2018 team leader Alex Svietliakov made first try to reach on stilts highest point of Ukraine on Hoverla mountain 2061 m. And as result took the National record. 

In 2022 during horrible russia aggression in Ukraine, even our storage place with all stilts and costumes was bombed and damaged. But luckely all things inside were safe. 
Two of our actors change costumes and stilts to camouflage and weapon and now on the front line deffending our Motherland Ukraine. Rest of the team making performances abroad to collect humanitarian help and transport it to Ukraine.
