Peva Ensemble
Peva Ensemble will perform as part of the event "Worldwide Reading of Ukrainian Literature".
Why "Peva" and what does the name mean? "Peva" is an alleged name for the living waters sung of in sagas, epics and tales of the old times. There, druids, and warlocks would gather the waters from the seven sacred wells and spend many hours chanting over them. Our ensemble is a well just as sacred to us. We are a culturologist, a philologist, a philosopher, an economist-mathematician and a diploma musician bound by our love for Ukrainian and Russian folklore, sharing the beautiful and inspiring city of Berlin. Living and professing our national identity through the music of our ancestors, is a magical act for us.
Amid the storms of the modern world, the delicate and intimate undertaking of singing together has become our foothold, our pivot and our vantage.

Worldwide Reading of Ukrainian Literature
The international literature festival berlin [ilb], in cooperation with the Frankfurt Book Fair and the German PEN Centre, calls on cinemas, schools, universities, media, cultural institutions and individuals to participate in a worldwide reading of Ukrainian literature on 7 September 2022. On the occasion of the war in Ukraine and its devastating effects, we would like to shine a light on Ukrainian literature through the Worldwide Reading, to highlight its content and stylistic facets, and to give Ukrainian authors an international forum.
Of course, the PalaisPopulaire is taking part: In 2018 ‘Internat’ was published in German. From the novel of Serhiy Zhadan, this year’s winner of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, Berlin based author Daniel Boente will read passages.
