LVIV NOTEBOOK: What ever happened to Ne Zhurys?

by Tamara Stadnychenko-Cornelison LVIV - Number 25 Komsomolska Street is an unprepossessing building that is the headquarters for Lviv's cabaret ensemble Ne Zhurys. One climbs a short flight of stairs to the clutch of rooms from which the group runs its affairs. The walls are cluttered with paraphernalia from old concerts, cards and letters from fans, posters, photographs. In one room the first sight a visitor is likely to encounter is Ostap Fedoryshyn in the old familiar poster pose — a phone held to each ear. In another room one is likely to find lead singer and music director Viktor Morozov scribbling notes or shouting into a receiver to make himself heard over a bad connection to Melbourne or Toronto. Both exude an air of business as usual. Both are vaguely amused at hearing a rumor that the group has disbanded. The core of the ensemble that performed for audiences throughout North America in the fall and winter of 1989 has remained basically intact. Jazz pianistYuriy Sayenko, singerVasyl Zhdankin, and sound man Ihor Krytovych are still a vital part of the organization. The notable exception is Andriy Panchyshyn who has gone solo and has moved from writing political songs to practicing politics as a deputy in Lviv's Oblast Council. There are some new names and faces. Zenko Fylypchuk has become the group's newest song „writer; Orest Khoma, who sang with Mr. Morozov in Chernivtsi when they were both members of Smerichka, is the new featured soloist. Bohdan Henhalo, Roman Mykytiuk, Oleh Lekhach and Taras Chubay, all of whom have appeared in earlier Ne Zhurys productions, are back for "Pisni z-za Grat" (songs from behind barbed wire), a new repertoire of prison camp folklore, songs and humorous vignettes from the Stalin and Brezhnev years. The material for "Pisni z-za Grat" has been collected from a variety of sources around the world. A cassette of camp songs was recently sent to Ne Zhurys by Nadia Svitlychna; other songs and stories have been pouring in from other former political prisoners. Satirical sketches evolved from these materials have been designed by Mr. Fedoryshyn. The new repertoire includes some beautiful choral work. Under the skillful guidance of Mr. Morozov, the familiar songs retain their old magic; the unfamiliar songs invite and entice the listener to commit an unpardonable breach of conduct - applauding during rehearsals. Since their well-received tour through Canada and the United States last year, Ne Zhurys has performed in several countries in Western Europe and in Australia. Mr. Morozov has released two albums, one a collaborative production with soprano Oksana Bilozir, the other a solo production called "Skrynya." But despite these solitary ventures, Mr. Zhdan- kin's periodic bouts with soar throats and other detours, Ne Zhurys is thriving as a unit, exploring and experimenting with old songs and new.
