Baba Yaga and the Firebird

In this exuberant yet heartwarming original story, based on Slavic folklore, two performers play over fifteen roles, with the help of a host of puppets. The world of Baba Yaga and the Firebird bursts forth from the pages of a pop-up book (over a dozen, in fact!) and tells the story of a princess and a pauper who take a fantastical journey to beg the witch, Baba Yaga, for a firebird. Along the way, the wonder of the natural world and the enchanting people who inhabit it come alive through a musical form that is both unique and rooted in the oral tradition of storytelling.
