Kurbas was fascinated with American film, literature and music. In turn, his theatre’s productions fascinated Americans and were featured at the most important modernist theatrical event in New York in 1926: the International Theatre Exhibit organized by Jane Heap, the editor of Little Review who first published James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. A copy of the Little Review with photographs from Berezil productions will be featured in Kurbas: New World on loan from the US Embassy in Kyiv, which bought this special document. THANK YOU! |
