“DZVINKA,” Tryzub’s 50th Anniversary Show, is a unique 2-hour stage production that unveils over one hour of original music, composed and recorded amidst the shadows of war in Ukraine. Featuring new elaborate costumes crafted in Ukraine, the mesmerizing choreography takes audiences on a riveting journey encompassing excitement, anticipation, laughter, and moments of despair.

Sold-out in Penticton and Oliver BC, “DZVINKA” is a “Spectacular, emotionally gripping display of Ukrainian artistry.” Susan McIver, Penticton Herald.  “The choreography was so fast moving, I was almost literally gasping for breath”, Barb Pettifer, Penticton.

The first half of the show introduces an original storyline centered around Ukrainian folk hero Oleksa Dovbush—an outlaw, a hero to the people, and leader of the Opryshky. The second half navigates through the diverse regions of Ukraine, showcasing the delicate balance between intricate technique, colorful costumes, the grace and beauty of our female dancers, and the strength, determination, and gravity-defying tricks of our male dancers.

Despite formidable challenges, the costumes and music were created in Ukraine by brave individuals.  As a result of the shutdown of Ukrainian airspace due to Russia’s war, the costumes were transported by van out of the country and then flown to Canada from neighbouring nations.  These costumes embody resilience amid adversity. As Russian military targets museums, theaters, and historical sites; orchestra musicians, scattered and forced to record in school classrooms, join hands with Tryzub in crafting original works like “DZVINKA.”

Net Proceeds from the performance will be donated to support Ukrainian Newcomer programs that support the mental health and wellness of youth impacted by war.
