Sly Fox

The play “Sly Fox” brings to life Ivan Franko’s classic Ukrainian fairy tale in a vibrant, humorous, and thought-provoking stage adaptation. The story follows a clever fox who, through wit and cunning, manages to outsmart the forest animals and even the villagers—until her tricks finally catch up with her.

Through lively dialogue, expressive costumes, and playful choreography, the performance captures the spirit of Franko’s original tale while introducing it to a new generation in an engaging, theatrical form. The show blends music, dance, and traditional Ukrainian motifs to celebrate cultural heritage and highlight timeless moral lessons about honesty, pride, and the consequences of deceit.

Created by the Ukrainian Theatre in Halifax, this performance aims to entertain audiences of all ages while fostering appreciation for Ukrainian literature and folklore. With colorful staging and energetic performances, “Sly Fox” reminds us that even the craftiest trickster can’t escape the truth forever.
