Shumka’s UKRAINKA: The Four Faces of Lesya Ukrainka
October 4 - October 5
The world premiere of Shumka’s UKRAINKA: The Four Faces of Lesya Ukrainka celebrates the renowned Ukrainian artist, storyteller, poet, and humanitarian, October 4 & 5 at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. Tickets are on sale now starting at $25.
Lesya Ukrainka led a troubled life suffering from medical ailments that limited her physically, she lived vicariously through her art. She is a legend among the Ukrainian diaspora, and as a woman, is especially inspiring in a patriarchal culture.
Shumka’s newest production focuses on the “four faces” of Lesya Ukrainka – the dreamer, the traditionalist, the lover, and the leader. Her hope for Ukraine’s independence in a series of troubled times is as poignant as ever today.
