On January 6, Odesa hosted the performance festival 'STUSuyemos', dedicated to the memory of the poet who remained free even in trying times.

The event was organized by military and musician Ihor Dvyhalo, who held meetings directly from a bunker, symbolizing that culture can thrive even amidst adversity.

This year, cities such as Odesa, Lviv, Dnipro, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, and Kamianets joined Kyiv in this celebration.

The celebration in Odesa took place at the More Music Club, featuring a musical and poetic performance that revealed Stus as a contemporary rebel artist.

The evening began with electronic music, under which an 11-year-old boy recited a poem by Stus, his voice echoing as a representation of a new generation.

The program included a musical stand-up from the independent Kyiv theater 'Between Three Columns', as well as mini-sets from Odesa bands across genres—from electronic to industrial metal.

Some of the music was directly inspired by Stus's poems, while other pieces were reflections and fantasies evoked by his texts. Interspersed were brief facts about Vasyl Stus's life—dates, events, details often overlooked in official biographies.

The finale featured a communal carol 'Good Evening to You, Master Host'.

On January 6, during Epiphany, the carol resonated in unison across various cities in Ukraine.
