    About

    Hundreds of carved figures and pieces of old scrap perform an incredible choreography to haunting music and synchronised light, telling the funny and tragic stories of the human spirit as it struggles against the relentless circles of life and death. SHARMANKA (Russian for Barrel-Organ) was founded by sculptor-mechanic Eduard Bersudsky and theatre director Tatyana Jakovskaya in St.Petersburg (Russia) in 1989. Audiences in many countries have been fascinated by its magic, and based in Glasgow since 1996 it has gained a reputation as one of the city’s hidden treasures. Unique art and craft for thought and entertainment for any age.

    Like nothing I've ever seen before - spooky, fantastical...

    I don't think it's very well advertised that the venue is actually within the 'Trongate 103' arts centre in Glasgow, on the south side of Trongate. Very accessible with a decent sized lift to get up yo the venue on level 1.
