The Sky Was on Fire: Ballet & War in Ukraine

The Sky Was on Fire: Ballet & War in Ukraine 2025 Directed by Jonathan Maricle , Joan Finn Adkison

Ukrainian artists caught in the crossfire

"We need to understand that this war will not end if we just watch it on the TV and then talk about how bad it is somewhere in the kitchen." To make art amidst war is a difficult choice. Are you helping your country survive, and reminding them that there are still beautiful things to fight for, or are you utilizing escapism to ignore and, in turn, help others ignore what is happening around you?
