Performance:

Leshonky
David Colosi investigates the character of Leshonky–child of the Ukrainian and Slavic mythological character Leshy–a shape-shifter who can shrink to the size of a blade of grass and grow to that of a tree and tickles his victims to death. Young Leshonky, still learning his trade, can’t yet control his own laughter. This performance follows in the tradition of Diogenes of Sinope, the father of the “philosophy of the comic”.

Time: 3:50 am
Location: Ukrainian Institute of America / Concert Hall
