Blood of our Soil

By Lianna Makuch

The story of Hania, a second generation Ukrainian-Canadian who goes on a mission to Ukraine, seeking out a missing piece of her family history for her grandmother, or Baba, named Kataryna whose mental health is rapidly deteriorating. The missing history Hania searches for may help Kataryna's mental state. Weaving conflicts past and present and pursuits both personal and political, this play explores trauma, displacement, familial bonds and the meaning of homeland in a place where all hopes for stability are undermined by hegemonic intervention.
