Yama-Uba is a small stage form combining object theatre, storytelling, puppetry and visual theatre elements. It is based on the archetype of an old women living alone in the hard-to reach place in the nature as we find it in many stories and fairy-tales across the cultures.
"Her scary old face is a sign of living from the beginning of times, her wrinkles and grey hair is a sign of endless love and care for everything alive. This is the true face of love. "
Inspiration for this play was a finding of a small essay by Deisetz Suzuki analyzing the classical play of No theatre Yamauba. The story combines themes of a long journey, facing fear, prejudice and searching for inner truth and it is still equally actual after centuries.
