The Toronto Star called Shumka “Canada’s National Treasure,” and the Globe & Mail compared Shumka to Riverdance. The program will showcase four of Shumka's newest works: the all-ages Disneyesque Mosquito's Wedding, a tribute in film to the Ukrainian pioneers in Canada, Promised Land, a salute to the bravery of the people in current Ukraine, My Yeh, and a celebration of the emotion, energy and evolution of Ukrainian dance, Echoes of Hopak.
The mixed work program features original music, projection and multimedia design, film, and new choreography.
