Yassama and the Beaded Calabash

Shayenne Productions

Yassama and the Beaded Calabash is the story of a young girl who, with the help of the old Baobab tree, saves her village from drought and delivers a powerful lesson about the importance of respecting and honouring Mother Earth. ​Acclaimed artist Lua Shayenne weaves vibrant dance and music with engaging storytelling in an interactive performance created especially for young children.

Developed with the support of the WeeFestival of Arts and Culture for Early Years and Theatre francais de Toronto.
