A new Musical

Once there was a town, and it lived atop a whale.
Valya and Anya are two kids in a Very Normal Town, spending their days building birch-bark boats and fishing. That is, until they suddenly meet a Wolf, never-before-seen by their island.
Swim into the folk-inspired, multilingual world of RYBA-KIT, where stories aren’t just legends and sometimes truth is found in the unlikeliest of places.
Book / Lyrics by Nadiya Atkinson
