A clever
reboot of a Slavic folktale, Windmill Theatre Co’s new work Baba Yaga introduces young
audiences to Vaselina, the shy and nervous concierge of the Poultry Park
Apartments. Saddled with the unenviable task of enforcing the pernickety
regulations of the body corporate, Vaselina must investigate the strange and
noisy emanations from the new and terrifying penthouse resident, Madam B. Yaga.

Her trip to
the top floor leads Vaselina to a scary and uproarious rendezvous with its
defiantly ‘different’ tenant. Born out of a happy meeting of minds – director
Rosemary Myers (Girl Asleep), Christine
Johnston (The Kransky Sisters’ siren of the bowed saw) and Scottish children’s
theatre artist Shona Reppe – this peach of a show earned critical bouquets and
adoring fans at the 2018 Edinburgh International Children’s Festival.
The funny
and endearing performances are matched by outstanding and outlandish work from
the whole creative team: costumes, sound, music and Windmill’s trademark
animated projections. Good-weird family entertainment from one of Australia’s
most beloved companies for young audiences.
