Event Description
WHAT WE CARRY: A Ukrainian Community Benefit Performance of The Division in support of the Aid for Artists Fund (Canada-Ukraine Foundation)
Please join us for a special community evening featuring a theatrical performance of The Division by Andrew Kushnir, followed by a post-show gathering by INSTITUT (a new underground speakeasy c/o St. Volodymyr Institute) with performance by NASTASIA Y (Ukrainian neo-soul trio) in support of artists living and creating through war.
About the Play
In The Division, Kushnir journeys back to his family homeland, Ukraine, to confront mysteries about his grandfather’s life as a soldier and watchmaker. The family mythology he unearths has astonishing connections to the present, not least of which the fallout of Russia's full-scale invasion. With his award-winning style of documentary theatre, Kushnir faces the unspoken truths that shape our personal and collective histories.
What We Carry: A Gathering
The evening continues with a reception celebrating Ukrainian cultural resilience, uplifting artists, and the vital role of culture in preserving identity during wartime, presented with support from the St. Volodymyr Institute Speakeasy Initiative.
Proceeds from the evening support the Aid for Artists Fund, an initiative of the Canada-Ukraine Foundation that works with Ukrainian artists and cultural institutions to strengthen and sustain the country’s arts community during the ongoing war.
