Malavanych, the stage persona of Alexander Zhdanovich, an icon for generations of Belarusians, is coming back to Boston! As the former host of the beloved children’s program Kalykhanka, his performances bring a unique blend of nostalgia, warmth, and masterful storytelling that resonates with both children and adults.
During the event, Malavanych will present the magical Batlejka and a shadow theater performance as well as lead games for children and adults. Batlejka (or Batleyka) is a centuries-old Belarusian folk tradition. It is a chamber-style puppet theater performed inside a special wooden box.
Seating is limited, so please register for the event in advance.
