A poetic fairy tale evening between Slavic mythology and theater magic
With Jaga baje plecie/ Witch tells tales, a stage space full of puzzles, folk music, and narrative power opens in Braunschweig. The play by Katarzyna Janiszewska combines Polish and German into an interactive theater experience that brings old myths to life anew and presents the figure of Baba Yaga in a surprisingly multifaceted light. The performance takes place on June 21, 2026 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Das KULT. Tickets cost 15 Euros in advance, 10 Euros reduced, with an additional 2 Euros at the box office.

A witch who is more than a fairy tale cliché
The stage character Baba Yaga appears here not as a mere figure of fear, but as a wise, willful, and mysterious woman. The narrative approach frees her from the familiar fairy tale dust and returns her to the world of Slavic deities, traditions, and rituals. This adds dramaturgical depth to the piece: It tells of power, knowledge, healing arts, and that colorful ambivalence which makes good fairy tale theater productions so appealing.

Wordplay, folk music, and direct proximity to the audience
Particularly appealing is the bilingualism. Polish and German intertwine into a vibrant theatrical language that not only conveys content but also creates atmosphere. The audience is not kept at a distance but drawn into a fairy tale world where folk music, storytelling art, and interactive moments shape an immediate stage experience. This is precisely the strength of this production: it relies less on external effects and more on concentration, rhythm, and narrative presence.

Das KULT as an intimate venue with a special theater atmosphere
Das KULT at Hamburger Straße 273 is known as a small, independent theater venue and offers according to house information up to 90 seats, free seating, sufficient parking spaces at Schimmelhof, as well as drinks and snacks at the counter. The stage and the seated room create that closeness where subtle facial expressions, voice, and acoustics particularly resonate. For this type of fairy tale theater, this is a stroke of luck: the intimate theater atmosphere enhances every twist, every pause, every glance.
