Ukraine is a nation with a rich artistic tradition, whose world-renowned visual and performance arts have captivated audiences for centuries.
Now, artistic pursuits that have come to define the country are being used to help families recover from the devastating effects of war.
Ukrainian-Canadian Tryzub Dance Society has embarked on a national performance tour for its 50th anniversary to raise money to help families fleeing war resettle. It’s stopping in Cranbrook on Jan. 25 to dance at Key City Theatre.
The group will be performing Dzvinka, a show based on the life of Ukrainian folk hero Oleksa Dovbush, renowned for his generosity towards the lower classes, and destitute and disadvantaged people.
