УКанаді: Історії Перших Українців в Канаді Про Які ВСІ МОВЧАТЬ. Інтерв’ю англійською

For the first time in Winnipeg, hear the untold stories of the first Ukrainians—stories no one else is talking about! Combine that with an increasing number of Ukrainian-Canadians
calling Manitoba home, and the upcoming production of Kateryna and Havrylo is sure to speak to patrons on an artistic level while evoking cultural pride.

Inspired by stories her father used to tell her and her brother as children, playwright and director Claire Borody created Kateryna and Havrylo as a way of honouring family memories and Ukrainian-Canadian culture. Kateryna and Havrylo are an elderly Ukrainian-Canadian couple who find themselves on unexpected fantasy adventures.

What begins with ordinary rural Manitoban activities, like mushroom picking or ice fishing, quickly turns into other-worldly encounters. Using only their wits, they escape the dreaded Baba Yaga, a King Fish, Mushroom Henchmen, and a Snow Queen. Comedic and adventurous, Kateryna and Havrylo delight audiences while celebrating Ukrainian heritage, which is prominently ingrained in Manitoba’s culture.

Joining us today are Rachel Smith and Anthony Ferens, who play the lead roles of Kateryna and Havrylo. They’ve been a part of this project since the very beginning and have brought so much heart and energy to the stage.
