Yaga

Sunday October 1, 2023 at 2 pm at the Belfry Theatre, 1291 Gladstone Avenue in Victoria | View Map | Phone

A comedic thriller and a dazzling celebration of feminine power.

A gruesome murder in a small town leads a female sheriff, a cocky young detective, and a university professor with a taste for younger men, into a labyrinth of secret lives, ancient magic, and multiple suspects.

The exceptional Kat Sandler uses the Slavic folktale of Baba Yaga, the witch who lives in a magical hut that sits on chicken legs, as a launching pad for an exploration of female power in its many forms – wisdom, rage, motherhood, and sex.

Yaga races along and draws you into a world where nothing is quite what it seems.
