Book & Film Night
Friday, November 21, 2008, 7:00 p.m.

In a Different Light
The Yara Arts Group will present the recently published In a Different
Light: A Bilingual Anthology of Ukrainian Literature Translated by Virlana
Tkacz and Wanda Phipps as Performed by Yara Arts Group. The book includes
over 100 poems by 37 Ukrainian poets, Lesia Ukrainka's play "Forest Song,"
as well as a small selection of traditional songs, epics, and
incantations. The evening will begin with bilingual performances by Yara
artists of several poems in the book, as Virlana Tkacz, the group's
artistic director, recounts the story of the Yara Arts Group and presents
photographs from its productions.

Light from the East
In Amy Grappell's documentary, Yara's young American actors travel to Kyiv
to participate in the first American-Ukrainian cultural exchange theatre
project. As they perform a play about Les Kurbas, the Soviet Union
collapses around them. The screening of this documentary about the massive
political upheaval in 1991 that led to Ukraine's declaration of
independence (originally released in 2006; re-edited in 2008; 55 minutes)
will follow the poetry performances.
