Calgary’s Tryzub Ukrainian Dance Ensemble teamed up with Edmonton’s Dnipro Choir and Shumka School of Ukrainian Dance to present an outstanding production of “Cлава Герoям – Glory to Heroes” at the Arden Theatre in St. Albert, Oct. 26.
The production consists of three acts, the first consisting of the opening “Pryvit”, or “Welcome” and the third act, which featured regional dances.
But it was the second act which established the foundation of the performance. With a script written by Artistic Director Shane Gibson it was a narrative that paid tribute to all those who in the past sacrificed, and, in the present are sacrificing, their lives for Ukraine’s freedom. As such, it is most timely and relevant today.
