This will be the eighth attempt since 2008 to challenge the title of Ukraine’s 40-year-old star.

Despite the fact that the challenger is much younger at age 28, most think that the elder Klitschko brother will win the title once again and claim a seven-digit check.

Chisora predicts he will win in an eighth-round knockout, while Klitschko vows to teach his opponent "a lesson."

In 1951, Allen Bernardine opened the Crazy Horse Saloon which soon became a popular venue on the Paris night scene.


The cabaret’s chic and creative dance numbers were well-received by the audience. While preserving its heritage, over the decades the show has become more technologically spectacular with special effects, kaleidoscopic lighting and pulsing music.

Famous among the Paris elite, the girls even inspired Salvador Dali to create his famous lip-shaped couch, which eventually appeared in the cabaret’s show and inspired the design of a bottle in its own line of perfume.

The Crazy Horse turns seduction and allurement into an art form. This long-running act has performed in front of such luminaries as President John F. Kennedy, Liza Minelli, Kevin Kostner and Quentin Tarantino.

The manager prides the girls on being “perfectly shaped” and says that most of them are professionally trained.

The 90-minute show is filled with humor, dazzling choreography and barely visible costumes.

Two dancers are from Ukraine and Russia, but unfortunately for all the curious men, the cabaret girls are strictly forbidden to talk to the visitors or the staff.

They challenge the laws of physics making people disappear; flowers and objects sprout out of nowhere, and victims cut in half that miraculously get back to their original, unharmed, shapes.

But these magicians don’t just do tricks. Michael Michaels from the US, for instance, is famous for making his audience laugh.

Mantas from Lithuania blends a Gothic spirit, surrealism and philosophy into his act. And Aaron Crow from Belgium is an acclaimed mentalist.

But they each have one thing in common – they will make you believe the unbelievable.

Gary Hume started out by doing “door paintings,” which are life-size representations of hospital doors he has been producing for nearly a decade.

After doors got monotonous, he took interest in something more alive, like human bodies, face expressions, flowers and birds. He favored paintings in household gloss paint on aluminum panel.

However, the forms are hardly recognizable since they are reduced to only several colors and basic shapes.

His exhibition “Beauty” encompasses abstract works curiously titled Rainbow, Anxiety and the Horse, and a sculpture series Bikini.

Jeff Wall uses photography to explore the maturing process of young people. Sixteen photographs and seven light boxes, a signature feature of the photographer, converge in the show entitled “In light, black, colour, white, and dark.”

Wall is also known for his academic achievements in art history. Studying and lecturing through his career, he started experimenting with conceptual art at the age of 24.

His trademark works are large transparent photos he mounts on light boxes. The artist says he was inspired by the back-lit ads at bus stops while traveling in Europe.

Adult Pilot, Little Prince, Flower Rose, The Fox and the Snake are the main characters in this play by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

While traveling with the Little Prince through the universe and accompanying him on Earth you’ll take a ride through the range of emotions from elevating joy to deep sadness.

There is no need to worry about the language barrier: this particular theater performance is all about movements, not words.

But in several decades on stage, this 60-year old composer and musician manages to treat the audiences with new compositions. This is the fourth time the singer is coming to Kyiv. This time he is bringing his new album “Santo Spirito Blues”, as well as old hits.

When the 22-year old left-handed Camillo Rea picked up the guitar, he went against his nature and learned to play with his right hand. He conquered England first with his major hit, The Road to Hell in 1989, topping the charts in the UK, while in the US it never gained the same traction.

Then followed the hit Auberge, which conquered both the UK and the US charts.

Once the world almost lost this genius musician. Diagnosed with pancreatitis, Rea went through an operation, which gave him half and half chances of survival. This experience pushed him back to the blues.

Drama
Spain 1997, 107’
Language: Spanish with Russian subtitles
Directed by Montxo Armendáriz
Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.
Master Class Cultural Center

Childhood seems fun: you can play, run and climb trees all day long, and adults are the ones who know answers to all questions, who will take care of you, and take your troubles away. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy for kids in some families.

Javi, a curious 9-year-old boy, lives at his aunt’s together with his older brother Juan. When summer comes, they visit their parents’ home, a place of shocking tragedy.

Although the boys have been told that their father had killed himself accidentally while cleaning his gun, their mother knows the truth and forbids them to enter the room with a chair, which is still stained with the man’s blood.

Of course, the boys do their best to sneak into the room, as they believe that their father’s spirit is hiding his secrets there.


PSYCHO
Thriller, Mystery, Horror
Brazil 1960, 109’
Language: English with English subtitles
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
Master Class Cultural Center

Suspense hardly matters in modern horror movies, enormously cruel, filled with spooky screams, washed with liters of blood, and often with a predictable plot.

But things were quite different in the middle of the 20th century.

To preserve the suspense of his “Psycho,” not only did Alfred Hitchcock make the crew swear to keep the resolution in secret, but even bought up all copies of the screened novel he managed to find.

This classical black-and-white movie tells the story of a young secretary Marion, who needs money to marry her lover.

Desperate to find another way to get it, she steals $40,000 from her company’s client and runs away from the city.

Caught off guard by storm, she decides to stop for a night in a road motel, where she meets Norman Bates, who owns the place and loads of secrets. He also has a really weird mom.


MY WEEK WITH MARILYN
Biography, Drama
USA 2011, 99’

Zhovten, Kyiv and others

The posh and gorgeous American actress, singer and model Marilyn Monroe hardly needs introduction.

The blonde with red lips, bright eyes and a sexy little spot on her cheek is still a beauty icon, even 50 years after her death.

Together with her husband, Monroe came to London in 1956 to star in the “The Prince and the Showgirl” movie. When young assistant director Colin Clarkfalls for her, everyone warns him she’s gonna break his heart.

However, what really happened to him remained a mystery – there was a week missed in Clark’s diary, released in 1990s. It takes him years to muster enough courage to divulge what happened that week. He eventually did in 2000.

“My Week with Marilyn” tells the story of that particular week.]]> http://www.kyivpost.com/news/guide/sevendays/spec/detail/122177/ Special Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:16:30 +0200 Editor’s Note: Planning a night out has just got easier.
