On November 22, the capital's Palace of Sports, full of spectators and star friends, was rocked by the pompous show “HEARTBEAT” by Ukrainian singer DOROFEEVA (Nadia Dorofeeva), reports WomanEL.
Conceptually, the stage turned into a room with a ceiling and screen walls.
This is my space. A space of freedom. Where I feel safe. Today I invite you to it…,
This is how DOROFEEVA invited 10 thousand viewers to feel her HEARTBEAT at the beginning of the show.
This room is not just a backdrop, it is Nadia's visual personal world, changing with each song, as a reflection of her emotions and state of mind. Every detail worked to ensure that the viewer did not just observe, but literally immersed in these stories.
My first Palace of Sports! I still can't leave! I read comments, reviews, see TikToks – I see that people had a good time, and this is the greatest happiness for me. During the concert, I also felt it when I saw the happy eyes of the audience,
shared DOROFEEVA's first emotions.
The performer was worried that there would be no alarms or shelling on this day – unfortunately, now all concerts are perceived through this prism. She is very happy that everything worked out.
The TRI.Direction directing team noted that in this concert Nadia breaks the fourth wall of her world to let the audience into it. She hides nothing more… all her creativity, everything that inspires her, what she lives for and loves, is completely open to the audience. Because the audience is a big part of this world… without them, the artist would not exist.
The foundation of the concert show is songs: a mix of hits and no less popular songs from the new album “HEARTBEAT”, which the audience sang along to loudly and constantly filmed the stage numbers on smartphones.
This evening, the following were performed: the program's iconic single – “Heartbeat”, “WhatsApp” – which the singer dedicated to our prisoners of war and their families who were present in the hall, the piercing “Lullaby 2022” – for the first time accompanied by a choir of female vocalists and the singer's explosive drumming in the finale, “Let them write” – with comments from haters on the big screen and “So that it wouldn't happen” – with video memories from the artist's personal archive, “Rhythms” – in an unexpected solo rock version, the folk hit “Thoughts”, “Ask in the chat, jeeps” – a song from the new album, which has already gained great popularity on streaming. And as many as three “encores”: the audience went crazy from the appearance of POSITIFF on stage (partner in the band “Time and Glass”) for the song “Smoke”, lit up the Palace with flashlights for the song “Guest” and lit it up again for the final “Heartbeat”.
In addition, DOROFEEVA presented a number of collaborations at her concert: rapper Otoy warmed up the hall with the hit “Spekotno”, and Jockii druce and Badwor7h performed the song “Zhurba”. Kyiv saxophonist Andrii Barmalii moved with a performance on WhatsApp. Streamer Misha Lebid pleasantly surprised fans by calling for support for each other in the composition “And I cried all the time”. At the end, POSITIFF unexpectedly appeared to perform “Dym” together with DOROFEEVA.
The show's partners created activities for the audience: Samsung Ukraine organized a photo zone, and Lamel Ukraine offered beauty services. The audience could also purchase DOROFEEVA merchandise and her vinyl record.
The concert also became a platform for raising funds for drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Event participants had the opportunity to donate and win prizes. In total, 2.9 million UAH was collected, including 2 million from VISA.
The concert was organized by the FCA team and the Pomitni label. The concept and production were developed by Natalia Rovenska, Natalia Lysenkova and Maria Hryhorashchenko, and the main choreographer Maryna Kushchova prepared new dance numbers.
By the way, the concert left a vivid impression, and DOROFEEVA announced a new date for the second show in Kyiv – April 12, 2025.
