You must be wondering: what in the world does this weird word “gamayun” mean? Well, Gamayun is actually a mythical bird in Slavic folklore, that is said to have a head of a woman.

Gamayun lives with the Gods and knows everything that was, that is and that will be. She is capable of complete transformations into a woman, and she descends into the land of humans to impart great wisdom, if they’re willing to listen. Gamayun likes humans and is always happy to share knowledge, tell a secret and even teach them magic.

She is also a wonderful singer: her songs are told to inspire people to do great heroic acts. But although Gamayun means well, her singing can be dangerous, as it is so sweet and wonderful, people can abandon everything and follow her forever.

At Gamayun Theatre we share Gamayun’s love for humanity, and we aim to do what all art does: to inspire people to reach out to Gamayun, to yearn for knowledge and beauty and to do great things!
