About this deal

The house has its own personality which the author gets across without dialogue, through its "body language". Marinka lives with her grandmother, Baba, a yaga; someone who guards the gate between the living and the dead and guides the recently departed to the other side. Saying in an interview (found in the programme) “The character of Baba Yaga always fascinated me because she’s so ambiguous. That there are multiple Babas Yaga is made more explicit in stories in which there are literally multiple Babas Yaga, such as "The Maiden Tsar.

She is also the guider of the dead through the gate to the next world, which happens to reside in their house – a house with chicken legs that regularly uproots the pair to different places around the world. One of the other most commonly seen threats in these stories is Koshchei the Deathless, a terrifying soldier who cannot die, usually because his soul is hidden away nesting doll-style inside a series of increasingly large animals (for example, it might be in an egg inside a duck inside a rabbit inside a goat or whatever). Theatre credits include: THE WINTER’S TALE (The National Theatre), MACBETH (The National Theatre), and MEDEA (Bristol Old Vic).

This second Baba Yaga does not know either and directs him to the third, but says that if she gets angry with him "and wants to devour you, take three horns from her and ask her permission to blow them; blow the first one softly, the second one louder, and third still louder.The only people Marinka meets are dead; they disappear when her grandmother, Baba Yaga, guides them through The Gate. The only problem is that Marinka, young and full of life, wants to forge her own destiny in the world of the living.

Animated segments telling the story of Baba Yaga were used in the 2014 documentary The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga, directed by American filmmaker Jessica Oreck. Your class will look at specific words choices and phrases, inference, association, find evidence and more. Some scholars have proposed that the concept of Baba Yaga was influenced by East Slavic contact with Finno-Ugric and Siberian peoples. The story focuses on the Yagas, guardians of the gate to “the other side” who are tasked with helping the dead transition to the afterlife. This new musical has a great underlying message throughout about identity and finding your own unique self and is tinged throughout with references to current news/affairs, with the Frozen reference going down very well with the younger members of the audience.Two or three times a year, without warning, it stands up inthe middle of the night and walks away from where we've been living.

D. dissertation of Andreas Johns, "Neither of these two interpretations significantly changes the image of Baba Yaga familiar from folktales. The costumes, lighting and production values of this show help to immerse you into the world of Baba Yaga and you totally lose yourself for a couple of hours. As with other kinship terms in Slavic languages, baba may be used in other ways, potentially as a result of taboo; it may be applied to various animals, natural phenomena, and objects, such as types of mushrooms, cake or pears.You are transported around the world with the pair of them, meeting new characters along the way and learning about the different lives they both lead, or wish to lead in Marinka’s case. The book, by the way, was awarded the Independent Book Awards of Britain, became the Book of the Year in Wells and has been translated into 20 languages.
