50 HEARTBREAKS (AND I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOUkraine)
50 HEARTBREAKS (AND I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOUkraine) is a dance-theater show about heartbreak and Ukrainian history by Jenna Bean Veatch and Nadia Tarnawsky. It weaves together a collage of kitschy dances set to 1960s breakup songs, mournful Ukrainian ballads, whimsical stop-action animation, old family photographs, delightful paintings by Susannah Anderson, and gruesome history lessons to tell Tarnawsky's family history, the gripping tale of a family in Ukraine split apart by WWII. The show spans the range of possibilities held within the heartbreak theme, from fun and tongue-in-cheek to utterly devastating. It draws on the humor in heartbreak, the parallels between lost love and death, and the beauty in sadness. In his review of the Seattle premier of the show, Tom Mohrman of the online publication Wonder and Risk wrote, "50 HEARTBREAKS is the kind of performance that happens all the time in Seattle, but rarely with this expertise EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW IS GOOD."
