Bottom Line Productions, Edmonton.
On the heels of the success of Ancestors & Elders’ world premiere, the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers are pleased to announce their next original production, Mosquito’s Wedding: All We Need Is Love, October 5 & 6, 2018 at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
Mosquito’s Wedding: All We Need Is Love is inspired by a traditional Ukrainian folk song with a new twist. Through a fantasy-like tale, the production explores themes of love, diversity, and acceptance.
The 50-minute family-focused dance theatre production will feature a number of insect characters from various “regions” of Ukraine. The dance lexicon, musical compositions, and sets, costumes and props will be associated with these ethnographic regions.
Mosquito’s Wedding is directed by Leslie Sereda, with consultation by John Pichlyk. Choreographers include Leslie Sereda, John Pichlyk, Tasha Orysiuk, Paul Olijnyk, and Joseph Hoffman. Music is by Andriy Shoost, with costumes by Anna Ipatieva and sets by Andrii Zlobin of Ukraine. Local designers Eli Lindenberger, Jeff Osterlin and Randall Fraser, are bringing their expertise in the area of projections, lighting and puppetry, respectively.
