![]() ![]() Live shows enchant audiences not only because the visual effect is riveting, but because they tell a story, typically about love, war, or faith. Part performance art, part visual art and part storytelling, the craft has been featured at Cirque du Soleil and Christian youth camps, Russian nightclubs and corporate events. Thanks in part to Simonova's performance, live sand drawing-also known as live sand animation-is quickly winning new fans and widespread notice from Mexico to China. Gracefully manipulating handfuls of sand atop a light box, Simonova created ever-transforming images that were projected onto a screen: a bucolic village disintegrates into a war zone, a woman grows old waiting, her piteous face transforms into the Ukrainian monument to its Unknown Soldier. But since then, the winning performance-a live sand drawing by Kseniya Simonova-has received more than 7 million views on YouTube and won raves for its mesmerizing depiction of the Soviet Union's fight against Nazi Germany. Not many people around the world watched the inaugural season of Ukraine's Got Talent on TV last spring.
