'Three Sisters' puts art in motion to share Ukranian culture

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "No matter what cultural background you're from, good dancing and a good fairy tale have universal appeal, says the director of an original Ukrainian dance show making its premiere Saturday.
Dancers from the Kyiv Ukrainian Dance Ensemble and School in Carnegie will, like a folksy ballet, tell the story of 'Three Sisters' entirely through dancing, with dancers in colorful, ethnic costumes. Artistic director Natalie Kapeluck co-penned the libretto, which tells the story of a book-loving Ukrainian girl who literally gets pulled into a book that contains three adventurous stories for her and her sisters. 'Three Sisters' is full of magical fairy-tale elements, Kapeluck says.
'It's like going to see ... the Ukrainian 'Sleeping Beauty,'' she says.
