SUMMARY:"Slovo" House. Unfinished Novel screening
DESCRIPTION:1927. Artists are settled into one building. They are allowed to choose the finest apartments. All the amenities are provided: telephones\, heating\, and even a solarium on the roof. They are being listened to\, but they don’t know it. Eventually\, of the 66 apartments\, only 16 remain inhabited. The other residents are arrested\, executed\, or exiled to camps. \nSounds like the plot of a gripping psychological thriller\, doesn’t it? The only difference is that this really happened – in Kharkiv.\nIn the 1920s\, the city became a hub of Ukrainian culture\, attracting the most talented artists from across the country. And not just artists. Kharkiv wasn’t prepared for such an influx\, leaving many newcomers asking: where will we live? \nOstap Vyshnia\, one of the local writers\, proposed building a house for writers and even petitioned Stalin for funding. Unexpectedly\, he succeeded. The building was designed in the shape of the letter “C” for Slovo (Word; Cyrilic “C” sounds the same way as “S”). Soon\, it became home to luminaries like Les Kurbas\, Mykola Khvyloviy\, Pavlo Tychyna\, Volodymyr Sosiura\, Mike Johansen\, Ostap Vyshnia himself\, and others. \nWithin a few years\, Mykola Khvylovy\, a former communist\, grew disillusioned with the regime and took his own life in his apartment. Eleven other residents of the building were executed in Sandarmokh in 1937. In March 2022\, this building was damaged by a russian shell. \nThe feature film “Slovo” House. Unfinished Novel” tells the story of Ukrainian artists who lived in this building – how they lived\, wrote\, and formed friendships. The film is shot in black and white to better capture the spirit of the time. Despite the seemingly ideal conditions for creativity\, the artists lived under strict constraints\, and those who dared to step beyond them faced punishment. Interestingly\, the film contains a single color scene. Punishment\, however\, didn’t always mean camps or death; sometimes\, it meant coercion to collaborate with evil forces\, as happened with Pavlo Tychyna. \nJoin us for a screening of “Slovo” House. Unfinished Novel in Halifax.\n📅 When: February 1 at 5:00 PM (doors open at 4:40 PM)\n📍 Where: Bus Stop Theatre Co-op\n2203 Gottingen St.\, Halifax\n💸 Price: 20 CAD (Buy on Eventbrite) \nKinotoloka Halifax is a community initiative that brings people together through screenings of Ukrainian films and cultural exchange. Our goal is to spread awareness of Ukrainian cinema and amplify Ukrainian narratives to counter Russian propaganda. If you resonate with our mission\, please share this post\, tell your Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian friends about us\, and invite them to the screening. Let’s remember our history.

SUMMARY:Traasadi
DESCRIPTION:Traasadi – A Story of Love\, Loss\, and Liberation \nKalaa presents Traasadi by renowned playwright Manav Kaul\, the first-ever Hindi play to be staged in Halifax. Directed by Archana Manmohan and performed by Prateek Dhar\, this one-man play dives deep into the emotional journey of a son grappling with his memories of a mother who lived life on her own terms. The word “Traasadi” translates to “tragedy” in Hindi\, perfectly encapsulating the poignant exploration of familial relationships and personal turmoil. \nFalling within the genre of introspective drama\, Traasadi is a compelling narrative that examines universal themes of familial conflict\, identity\, and the lasting impact of choices. With its seamless blend of powerful storytelling and evocative visuals\, this production invites audiences to reflect on the bonds that shape us and the sacrifices that define freedom. \nDon’t miss this groundbreaking performance that brings Indian theatre to the heart of Halifax.

SUMMARY:OMOTE (⾯)
DESCRIPTION:Omote (面) is co-creation between Vancouver dance artist\, Shion Skye Carter and Halifax mask maker\, Miya Turnbull. By choreographing with hand-crafted papier-mâché masks of each of their faces\, coming in myriad shapes and facial expressions\, the artists explore their mixed Japanese Canadian heritage\, collating and contrasting their personal experiences\, while evoking the ritualistic nature of Japanese traditions such as the tea ceremony.\n\nThis performance challenges traditional ideas of beauty\, while gestures and tableau articulate the Japanese concept of ‘honne’ (a person’s true feelings) and ‘tatemae’ (their public face). Omote (面) translates to both ‘surface/face’ and ‘mask’\, and explores multitudes of layers of being and the self\, manipulating what is revealed and what is hidden\, honing in on the churning\, transitory nature of identity.
