Baba Yaga

Vaselina lives the quiet life, working as a receptionist a very tall apartment block. But all that changes when she is forced to confront a terrifying resident who plays her music far too loudly and eats jelly babies with her mouth open. Read more …

Who is this mysterious neighbour? Will she ever turn the music down? And what exactly is she planning for dinner?

An uproarious musical journey to the top floor and beyond, Baba Yaga is a brand new take on an old Russian folktale co-created by three unique and celebrated artists from opposite ends of the globe.


The critical consensus

The piece feels technically overstuffed at times, but it is so outrageous, bold and silly that is proves irresistible.

The staple figure of Slavic folklore is wittily recreated as a noisy neighbour with magical powers.

The saga of Baba Yaga will leave you gaga as Vaselina is made to realise that her life is not an insignificant spec of dust in a meaningless world but an entire universe full of endless possibilities.

A fabulous and thoroughly entertaining metaphor for positivity and hope; for finding what lies within.

*****Irene Brown, Edinburgh Guide, 02/06/2018

Featuring animated projections by Ailsa Paterson and Chris Edser, catchy tunes by Peter Robinson, and incredible costuming by Selene Cochrane, this show is a triumph of creativity and collaboration by some of the best artists working in the industry today.
