(III) Performance Introduction: Under the initiative and efforts of Igone de Jongh, former artistic director of the Dutch National Ballet, a large group of ballet dancers were transported from Ukraine to the Netherlands and settled there. Funds were raised to support the dancers' lives, allowing them to put on their dancing shoes again, return to practice, and maintain normal performances. In 2023, as the pandemic eased and borders reopened, the United Ukrainian Ballet became the first international-level ballet company to perform in Taiwan on such a grand scale in three years. This spring, they bring an artistic feast that combines top-tier dancing with a display of resilient life force. Unlike typical ballet performances, they express their plea for peace through their art. Your attendance and applause
are particularly meaningful to these dancers from Ukraine.
