In a timeless mythological space, a woman sets off on a shapeshifting journey meeting arctic creatures, and the untamed forces of Nature. She looks for the 'Inua' (essence) of things. In Inuit (Greenlandic) mythology, 'Inua' is the force of life, movement and change in all things. Like a dream, one story unfolds itself after the other in a variety of dance, physical theatre, tragi-comical elements, poetry and with the use of visual effects and objects.

"Physical theatre of exceptional virtuosity and emotion" - E. Pardo, Pan Theatre-Paris. "Baba Yaga Theatre ranks as something completely different ... the experience itself is one of total immersion, invention, and originality". L. Billingham, Prague Festival. "Snell invites you to use your imagination in the surreal Inua. The use of various languages and the theatrical devices employed... is ingenious" - Theresa Smith, The Star. "Snell's physicality is astounding" Atiyya Khan, Cape Argus
