Talisman

Event information

An old woman sits under a wide sky, remembering.
A young woman steps into a dark forest. Behind her, the world is burning. Ahead, she faces darkness, hunger and death.
But at the boundary between worlds, there is wisdom to be found – or bargained for.
In this weaving of traditional Slavic wonder tales with wartime realism, the wisdom of Baba Yaga questions the choices we might make, when all good choices are gone.
Using puppetry, light and shadow, music and storytelling, Talisman is an evocative and visceral piece of theatre by three highly skilled artists, based in the South West. Suitable for ages 12+
