Sometime in February, Superhumans Center. been visited by Serhiy Zhadan and "Sobaki v Kosmosi". We chatted for a while, showed our music therapy Victory Beats, and the idea came up to play together. “Let’s go to Festrepublic on May 3,” he says. Let’s go, let’s go, though, in two months patients are often discharged and we have to start rehearsals from scratch and take into account the priority tasks of rehabilitation. But for people with unlimited possibilities, nothing is impossible.
A couple of days before this conversation, Ilya stopped by the center, who dreamed of returning to music. And dreams must come true. Sasha, our regular participant, also could not miss the opportunity to raise his level of guitar playing, which he had only recently begun to master. However, for about a month, we still did not have a clear lineup, because treatment is the most important thing and makes its own adjustments. And then at the end of March, the fantastic Maksym joined us, who, despite the loss of his fingers, showed everyone what an indomitable will and mastery of playing the bass are.
“Can I try to play quietly here?” Vitaliy asked in mid-April. Of course you can. On stage. As an opening guitar. “And I would like to play the drums again and train my injured leg,” says Maksym. Well, you get the idea. The cherry on the cake was Stanislav, who came with his electric guitar last week and, immediately after the operation, went on stage and added fiery drive with his riffs.
It’s hard to say who had the biggest therapeutic effect: the guys during these weeks of fun classes or the several thousand people under the stage, who shouted “Malva! Malva!” and jumped uncontrollably despite the rain. Everyone had a great time, and looking at such great people, you remember the words of the song that Ilya sang at a secret concert in front of the main show: There is hope!
