An evening of fairy tales between Slavic magic and vibrant theater art
With Jaga baje plecie/ Witch tells tales, a poetic stage space opens in DAS KULT in Braunschweig, connecting folk tales, Slavic mythology, and interactive theater into a sensual experience. The play by Katarzyna Janiszewska leads in Polish and German into a world where Baba Yaga appears not as a terrifying figure but as a wise, willful, and surprisingly modern fairy tale character.
A piece that breathes new life into old myths
The narrative revolves around Baba Yaga, Weles, the night of the midsummer threshold, and the power of traditions that reclaim their presence on stage. This combination of fairy tale material, rituals, and folk music gives the production its special dramaturgy: It is not only about plot but about atmosphere, rhythm, and the immediate closeness to the audience. The stage experience thrives on linguistic duality, cultural memory, and the allure of the unpredictable.
DAS KULT as an intimate venue with special charm
DAS KULT in Braunschweig is regarded as the smallest theater address in the city, and it reveals its strength precisely in that. The historical industrial location, the living room atmosphere, and the limited number of seats create a theatrical atmosphere where every movement, every turn, and every sound feels more immediate. The production gains intensity from this proximity, as the audience not only sees the characters but is almost physically drawn into their fairy tale world.
Between interaction, storytelling art, and cultural depth
As an interactive theater piece, the evening unfolds its effect in dialogue with the audience. This form of storytelling art is precisely what makes the evening appealing: The stage becomes a lively place of cultural transmission, where acting, imagination, and oral tradition intersect. Those who engage with this stage experience do not witness a rigid fairy tale but a movable, breathing piece about magic, identity, and female strength.
What the audience can expect
Visitors can look forward to a poetic theater evening with its own sound, special imagery, and a strong cultural signature. Jaga baje plecie/ Witch tells tales promises intimacy, surprise, and the rare joy of not only hearing a fairy tale but experiencing it in the space with all senses. Anyone looking for original theater with a Slavic flair should not miss this evening live at DAS KULT.
