Fight to be understood.
Imagine being far, far away from home and all
alone. You arrive in a remote and snow-bound
village surrounded by dense forest and strange
noises. This is how the story about Yana begins.
She does not understand a word of what the vil-
lagers are saying, and the other children taunts
her with stories of mythical mountain monsters.
Yana & the Yeti is a dark, funny, and gripping
story about a child's determination and fight to
be understood, and the discovery that friends
come in all shapes and sizes – and sometimes
with a lot more hair than you had imagined.
Lifelike puppets play the lead in this charming
family performance that constantly involves the
audience and features beautiful winter lands-
capes and new exclusive music. The midnight
sun and northern lights create a world that
will easily fascinate you while the use of mime,
puppeteering, and a mixed European language
evoke associations to Lewis Carroll's nonsen-
sical poem Jabberwocky. The performance is
suitable for everybody regardless of language.
‘Magical, beguiling, emotional and eye-wi-
deningly beautiful.’
