Event Description
From our Grant Applicant, Theatre33:
Forest Song represents the crowning achievement of Lesia Ukrainka’s mature period and is a uniquely powerful poetic text. A play in three acts, it seemingly breaks with her intellectually charged social and cultural themes ranging from feminism and the deconstruction of patriarchy to the workings of colonialism even in antiquity. Here, the author presents a symbolist meditation on the interaction of mankind and nature set in a world of primal forces and pure feelings as seen through childhood memories and the re-creation of local Volhynian folklore. The play unfolds in spirited dialogues between characters from Ukrainian mythology and people of the land: Old Man River, the Nymph, two water spirits, Uncle Leo, Luke, Sylph, the peasant woman Kylyna and her mother-in-law. Forest Song is a testament to the power of love to overcome differences and bring one's loved ones back from the dead. Recommended Age 8+.
