Discussion

Jay's Wing, directed by Snizhana Gukasian-Korobeinikova was put up at the West Village Theatre March 28th and 29th of 2026. Kyle sat down after the show had closed to talk with directed and performer Snizhana about how the production went, what it meant, and how Ukrainian Theatre differs from Canadian Theatre and what lessons we can take away from this bridging of cultures.

About the Show:

Adapted from the original Ukrainian text by Ivan Franko, Massino, a 40-year-old man, spends New Year’s Eve in solitude. He reflects on his aesthetic, reclusive life until he receives a letter from his forgotten love, which forces him to reconsider his views on the future. The love story of Maria and Massino was written 120 years ago. We took one of the most poetic prose works of Ukrainian literature and translated it into the language of theatre.
