Fallen Star: The Shooting of Ukrainian Airlines PS572

Fallen Star: The Shooting of Ukrainian Airlines PS752

Created by The Ensemble in collaboration with filmmaker Moze Mossanen

In the aftermath of one of the worst civil aviation tragedies in recent history, the families of victims of Ukrainian Airlines flight PS752 come together with a collective of actors to seek answers as to how and why their loved ones perished. Exploring both the personal and political fallout of the tragedy this early development period will combine verbatim, improvisation, and collective creation to mine the devastating cost of promising lives cut short and the possibility of finding truth and closure through the path of creative inquiry.

Studio 180 Theatre is excited to once again collaborate with filmmaker Moze Mossanen (Studio 180’s A Public Display of Affection film adaptation, You Are Here: a Come From Away Story, Unsung: Behind the Glee), in this film/documentary theatre hybrid, simultaneously creating the basis for a new theatrical work while supporting Mossanen’s documentary film exploration of the tragedy, its cost and the power of art to make sense of it all.
