Honored Artist of Ukraine Medal It was during this tumultuous time that Virlana and her troupe, advised by the American Consulate to leave Ukraine, decided “The play must go on.” In this decision, Ms. Tkacz and her colleagues fol lowed an eerie precedent and created a mirror image of what had occurred decades ago: Kurbas and his company made art during a revolution that ushered in communism; Virlana and her American troupe performed the life of Kurbas as the walls of com munism came tumbling down. Accepting the medal and the title “Honored Artist of Ukraine,” Ms. Tkacz observed, “It’s a great honor. Les Kurbas was the first to be named honored artist of Ukraine in 1925. Today, I am very proud that this is another thing we share. . . and it reveals great possibilities for the development of Ukrainian theater in the international context. This, after all, was Kurbas’s goal—he wanted Ukrainian theater to step into the light on the world stage.” She graciously noted, “Every Yara artist who worked on our shows in Ukraine shares in this honor.” We congratulate Ms. Tkacz on receiving this wonderful tribute and anticipate there will be many more successes to come.

Up in the belfry, there's a dance of sounds — Yet each bell weeps. My path leads now from dahlias To refuse heaps. Thick mists go soaring up and up. Clouds veil the sky. Why can I not love space? Because my eyes aren't dry? I kiss a rose at eventide — It brings me grief. What does life mean to me? Can thoughts bring no relief? Pavlo Tychyna (1891-1921)
