Sure, the TV talent contest is cheesy. But occasionally they produce something special. The winner of the Ukrainian version of the Got Talent franchise is 24-year-old Kseniya Simonova, who does something that’s somewhere between sand animation and performance art.

The text at the end translates as “you are always with us”, alluding to the fact that the Ukraine lost almost a quarter of their population during WWII. It’s interesting to note that Simonova was allowed almost 10 minutes to do her routine—a length unthinkable for North American (or British) TV.
