Your ticket to the event includes entry into a pre-show photo exhibit featuring work by Ukrainian artists, followed by an evening of short plays, music and poetry by Ukrainian artists. "More than anything, I want the audience to hear these stories from Ukraine and not forget about the people there who are continuing forward day by day - sowing seeds, making theatre, writing poems, singing songs, and giving their lives for their freedom and the sovereignty of their nation." ―Nadia Tarnawsky, Buried Words, Seeds of Hope director and a featured artist. About the Event Buried Words, Seeds of Hope is a benefit for Ukraine which will feature readings of short plays, poetry and songs that bring forth experiences of playwrights and artists from Ukraine since the war began. Music for the event "belongs to the winter carol/Christmas carol tradition." Some of the short plays presented at the event are described as follows: "Singing with your hands" examines the pull to create something filled with light in the most absurd time of darkness - a war; In Iryna Harets', Planting an Apple Tree the playwright explores the ways in which the invasion of one's country will in turn invade aspects of daily life and force an examination of what was, what is and what will be; and In her play How to Talk to the Dead, Anastasiia Kosodii unleashes a call to action - to tell stories about those who have died so that the dead can speak through them. Plays will be read in English. About the Pre-show Exhibit at 7pm Your ticket to the event includes entry into a special pre-show display in the lobby of the Gordon Square Theatre beginning at 7pm.
