A Stage We Keep Coming Back To

Some places earn a permanent place in your artistic life.

For Sofya Voronko, member of Spiritual Cabaret Lab, Dobroslyot has become one of those places. Year after year, she returns to the festival, stepping onto the same stage and finding a completely different audience waiting on the other side.

The audience is fully absorbed in the music. Hands are raised, people are singing, clapping, and responding without hesitation. Nobody is concerned with looking composed. The crowd has stopped being an audience and become part of the performance.

It is the moment before hundreds of individual experiences merge into one shared event.

What keeps bringing artists back to Dobroslyot is not the venue, the equipment, or the schedule. It is the atmosphere. There is a rare openness here. People arrive ready to listen, ready to participate, and ready to be surprised.

For Spiritual Cabaret Lab, these annual performances have become more than festival appearances. They are reunions with a community that values authenticity, creativity, and live artistic exchange.

Every year the songs change. The audience changes. The conversations after the concert change.

Yet something remains the same.

The feeling that for a few hours, everyone in the room is creating something together. Not the musicians alone. Not the audience alone. Everyone.

That is why Sofya keeps returning to this stage. And that is why Dobroslyot continues to feel less like a festival and more like a gathering of friends who happen to meet through music.
