Yana & the Yeti

Sunday 18 June, 2pm
Gulbenkian, Canterbury

Things are going to get really hairy at Gulbenkian, when Pickled Image present Yana & the Yeti on Sunday 18 June at 2pm.

Yana?s story begins as she arrives in a snow-bound village, far, far from home and all alone. Surrounded by dense forest and strange noises, she can?t understand a word anyone says. The other children tease her with tales of mythical mountain monsters, and then things start to get really hairy?

Yana & the Yeti is a dark, funny and poignant tale of a small child?s determination to be understood and her discovery that friends can come in the most unexpected shapes and sizes. The show features exquisite music, Arctic landscapes and a cast of extraordinary puppets. Yana & the Yeti is aimed at family audiences, for ages 5+.

Pickled Image created Yana & the Yeti in Northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle where Yetis still exist. The company was formed in 2000, and specialises in puppetry for live performance and theatre. Since its inception, the company has gained international recognition and numerous awards for its work.

Co-produced by Nordland Visual Theatre, Pickled Image present Yana & the Yeti at Gulbenkian on Sunday 18 June at 2pm. Tickets: ?8 / Groups of 4+ ?6.50pp, Baby on Lap tickets (0-18 months) ?1.
