New Pathway: Lidia M. Wasylyn – Review
BARVINOK — A POIGNANT AND POWERFUL STORY OF WARS INFLICTED UPON UKRAINE
Edify Edmonton: Preview by Cory Schachtel
“How a local playwright brought her family and country’s story home”
“A cultural inheritance, a quest, and a haunting: Barvinok launches a tour here”
3/4 Stars – Makuch, Lundeen and MacKenzie have done a remarkable job of creating a theatrical experience that ties together a heritage journey with thoughtful commentary on a place tragically caught up in cycles of oppression and violence.”
Blood of Our Soil is a quietly remarkable event… tightly written, beautifully designed, and skillfully performed. It’s well worth your time to pick up the pieces.
Blood of Our Soil packs a punch… [Makuch’s] passion and creativity shine throughout the show.
