About Mosquito’s Wedding

Mosquito’s Wedding (All We Need Is Love) is a new production inspired by a traditional Ukrainian folk song. The 50-minute all-ages dance theatre production features a number of insect characters from various “regions” of Ukraine. The dance lexicon, musical compositions, and sets, costumes and props are associated with these ethnographic regions. The theme of the production is poignant, being one of acceptance, diversity, and overcoming stereotypes.

Mosquito’s Wedding was filmed during Shumka on Tour in 2022 by Northern Gateway Films for a 3-D cinematic experience. The project is funded in part by Canada Council of the Arts: Digital Now Program.

Mosquito’s Wedding is directed by Les Sereda, with consultation by John Pichlyk. Choreographers include Les Sereda, John Pichlyk, Tasha Orysiuk, Paul Olijnyk, and Joseph Hoffman. Music is by Andriy Shoost, with costumes by Anna Ipatieva and sets by Andrii Zlobin of Ukraine. Local designers Elijah Lindenberger & T. Erin Gruber, Jeff Osterlin and Randall Fraser, bring their expertise in the area of projections, lighting and puppetry, respectively.
