Shush

Beyond every city there’s always a forest. Every forest has its centre. Centre of the forest which conceals many secrets. It is full of forgotten stories and mysterious Slavic creatures. Magical beings are living in harmony until a human child appears. Little girl so sad and quiet that it’s impossible to give her goosebumps… In fact she is the one scaring everybody! Since she’s appeared the forest became more and more silent, and the legendary world is in danger. How can we win over the silence? How can we protect the child?

The play by Malina Prześluga is inspired by Slavic demonology, it shows how important the storytelling is for children. How they need tales and fantasies, especially these days when they hear only car noises and lists of their chores. It’s important to take a break and listen to the whispers of the stories before they quiet for good. Everyone hides own creature which needs to be heard.
