Pysanky for Peace: Two years into Russia’s barbaric, full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Edmonton is now home to some 15,000 Ukrainian refugees — and this display of 13 oversized pysanky eggs is a testimony to their resilience.
Through the sale of these 13 handcrafted beauties, the annual project offers support to these war-displaced people as well as a taste of home with help from the local Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts. Among the works is a 1.8-metre masterpiece by talented folk artist Nataliia Stativa-Zharko, who will be painting live in public, so come by and have a look any time during mall hours.

taqəš and Other Works: Ballet Kelowna’s only touring stop in Alberta features a compelling sample of the company’s high-energy repertoire Monday in Leduc. The performance opens with Cameron-Fraser-Monroe’s taqəš — meaning “to bring something back” in the Ayajuthem language — the piece a blend of traditional Coast Salish, Grass and Hoop Dance with contemporary dance.
Next is National Ballet’s Guillaume Côté’s interpretation of the jaunty escalation of Ravel’s Boléro, followed by Alysa Pires commissioned work, MAMBO, a vivacious climax to this truly global dance spectacle.

Shōgun: If you’ve been holding off watching this reboot of the 1980 miniseries, stop it! This richly textured, Japan-centred and often subtitled drama set in 1600 follows the court intrigues of Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) as he makes use of the arrival of English “barbarian” John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), who becomes entangled with his interpreter Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai).
Game of Thrones-level complex and deadly, each episode is richly designed, thoughtfully written and full of surprises as cultures clash and try to make use of each other. So good.
