Baba Yaga at The Cherry Arts

“The world is wide and full of wonders… and with nothing ventured, nothing is gained!”

The young Vasilisa must find light for her family. But she has to get it from Baba Yaga—the mysterious old witch who lives in the woods in a house standing on chicken legs. Will Baba help Vasilisa, or will she EAT her?

This brand-new production is brought to you by the team that created last season’s Cherry hit, Peter and the Wolf, and is woven from the tapestry of Slavic folktales, using physical theatre, aerial performance, and shadow puppetry. Join us on the adventure to see if Vasalisa gets the light and finds her own voice along the way! For audiences aged 7-97.

Directed by Jen Pearcy-Edwards; devised by the Company, in collaboration with Russian theater artist Arthur Grois, in residency in Ithaca thanks to the Artists’ Protection Fund and Ithaca City of Asylum.
