Some talented performers in Calgary are creating a powerful new show.
Members of the newly formed Artis Theater company have all come to Canada to escape the war in Ukraine.
They believe that Artis is Calgary’s first all-Ukrainian theater ensemble.
“We’re trying to connect the Ukrainian people with a Canadian audience, as a bridge between Ukrainians and Canadians,” said director Snizhana Bora.

“It’s a good opportunity to be together.”
They are now rehearsing an original show called The Seagull Inside Youwhich tells the story of a seagull who wants to fly a different path to most of the members of his flock.
The members of Artis are all experienced performers back in Ukraine, saying that coming together to work on the project helps them recover from what they’ve been through.
“It’s our therapy – we can show the way we feel,” said performer Anastasia Haiduchenko. “We can show how sometimes we feel lost, sometimes we feel empty, sometimes we feel anxious, sometimes we feel so alone.”
The Artis production of The Seagull Inside You will be performed September 18 to 21 at the Inside Out Theater in downtown Calgary.
