Baba Yaga

written by Hannah Davies directed by Hannah Bruce

sound design by Jonathan Eato

produced by Common Ground Theatre, Hannah Bruce & Co, in association with Mediale

Lisa is running from someone, or something. Who, or what it is, she can’t quite tell. All she knows is that in the day- time it lurks around every corner, and at night it leaps through her dreams.

Developed by actor and director Hannah Davies, and sound design duo Jonathan Eato and Hannah Bruce, Baba Yaga was an immersive, site-specific audio experience based on an ancient Slovakian folk tale.

This short, work-in-progress, trailer piece used a thrilling combination of site-specific storytelling and immersive audio techniques, including binaural sound recordings, to create an atmospheric reimagining of this terrifying tale.

‘The car park, its stairwells, tiles, empty floors and compact curves to the exit, take on a claustrophobic character as Davies’s hushed voice leads you around the next corner, drawing you further into Baba Yaga’s lair.’ Charles Hutchinson
