So excited to see Dana Gingras’s “Creation Destruction” on the FTA lineup. Was one of my top 10 shows last year — crazy blend of experimental film, contemporary dance, and chamber rock. Might have to make the trip…

ONLINE: Why Is Canadian Theatre So Russian Right Now?, by Andrew Kushnir

"The Russianness of our theatre this past year has been striking to me — almost as striking as the near-absence of Ukrainian stories on our stages."
