The performance took place on April 14, 2022 in Kharkiv in the yard of the famous Palace of Labour, destroyed by Russian shelling. It was built in 1916 and survived World War II but suffered significant damage during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. A special version of the song "Hug me" by the band Okean Elzy was initially filmed for the opening of the Ukrainian pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), entitled This is Ukraine: defending freedom.
