The Alliance Française du Cap, in partnership with the Ukrainian Association of South Africa (UAZA), invites you to a special evening of culture, memory and solidarity marking 35 years since Ukraine restored its independence.
💃 The evening will open with a live contemporary dance performance by the lead dancers from the award-winning production The Forest, inspired by Lesya Ukrainka’s celebrated Forest Song and bringing together Ukrainian heritage and South African artistic expression.
🎬 This will be followed by a screening of Kherson: Human Safari, a 72-minute documentary directed and produced by war correspondent Zarina Zabrisky. Filmed in the frontline city of Kherson, the film combines personal testimonies and original footage documenting the invasion, occupation, liberation and continuing violence experienced by its residents.
Join us in celebrating Ukrainian culture and honouring the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people in their defence of freedom, sovereignty and democracy.
