## Notes

{{:wip.png?nolink}}  **Whoa!**  This section is incomplete for now, sorry! {{:wip.png?nolink}}

Because of the participatory nature of this event, it was darn near impossible to take any notes. Or rather, I could have taken notes, but then I wouldn't have really been part of the show. So I didn't. Here's what I recall:

* We enter Bing Studio to be directed to sit at a large banquet table, and soon the actors are serving us a delicious vegetarian meal. If I'd thought about it, it would have been smart to take a photo of the menu posted outside in the lobby. Another missed opportunity! Anyways, we had: pierogi, borscht soup with sour cream, cucumber salad, bulgar wheat, country bread, pickles and water. No vodka (what!?).
* Dinner changes to a party, with sing-along in Ukranian and eventually, dancing on the table tops
* The party is interrupted by bad news: Viktor Yanukovych has rejected the EU association agreement, choosing instead to align with Russia.
* Multiple confrontations with the riot police, escalating in intensity
* Wedding of the revolutionaries
* Battling with the riot police
* Arrival of the snipers
* Funeral scene
