Snow Maiden by Synetic Theater

Perkinson Center for the Arts and Education, Virginia

Staged and Choreographed by Irina Tsikurishvili 

Performed by Vato Tsikurishvili and Maryam Najafzada 

In a frozen silver forest high in the mountains, a lonely boy builds a girl from snow. When she mysteriously comes to life, mischief, laughter, and enchantment abound. But what will happen when the ice begins to melt?  Based on the beloved Russian folk tale Snegurochka and created by Helen Hayes Award-winning choreographer and Synetic Co-Founder Irina Tsikurishvili, Snow Maiden is a mystical story of love, hope, and the power of dreams told through dazzling movement, dance, and acrobatics. This enchanting show for all audiences is performed by Vato Tsikurishvili and Maryam Najafzada.
