Svitanok - Christmas with Ukraine

A performance of choreography and song by Ukrainian children's groups introduces its audiences to Ukrainian art.

The folk dance group Svitanok and the vocal studio Lira are Ukrainian groups that have won some of the most prestigious competitions and projects in the field. They have represented Ukrainian culture on the biggest stages in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, France, Greece, Lithuania, Georgia, Bulgaria and Qatar, and now they will have their premiere on Finnish stages!

Christmas in Ukraine is festive. Ukrainian song and dance groups perform traditional dances, songs and folk music. Let’s celebrate Christmas together with Ukrainians!

What can the audience expect: an atmosphere of an ancient Ukrainian village on Christmas Eve. Children with good wishes go from house to house, where friendly hosts and gifts await them. An evil force is ready to disrupt the celebration, but true Ukrainian Cossack warriors protect the celebration! How it all ends, the audience shall see!

Despite the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian culture still lives on and Ukrainian children are ready to share their creativity with Finnish people!
