THE SEAGULL INSIDE YOU⁠
A performance-therapy by Ukrainian Theatre ARTIS⁠
⁠
Immerse yourself in a unique performance that transcends language! The First Ukrainian Theatre in Calgary invites you to experience the return of our critically acclaimed therapeutic physical theatre performance, “The Seagull Inside You,” inspired by Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull.⁠
⁠
This unique production tells the story of Jonathan, a seagull who dares to defy expectations, seeking freedom, self-discovery, and connection. Told through the universal language of movement, this performance transcends words, allowing you to feel every moment deeply. Performed by talented Ukrainian actors who have found refuge in Canada, this production is a testament to resilience, art, and the enduring human spirit.⁠

Month of February⁠
⁠
Artist Statement: "Since I've Moved" is a series in-progress, since immigrating to Canada in 2016. This work documents my unfolding relationship with the vast emptiness of the prairies. While I was instantly drawn to this province’s postcard mountainscapes, I quickly realized that driving alone along long stretches of flatland highway stirred deeper feelings in me. These miles have become the road home.⁠
—⁠
About the Artist: Ian Martin Gregory grew up in Chelmsford, England and moved to Canada in 2016. He is a self-taught musician, letterpress printer, and photographer. He is also a cSPACE tenant. Find him at Feast Studio on the second floor.⁠
