Trongate 103, Glasgow G1 5HD


SHARMANKA is one of the most popular and unique attractions in Glasgow. It has been entertaining and enthralling audiences for over three decades since its original opening in 1989.

Sharmanka was founded by sculptor-mechanic Eduard Bersudsky and theatre director Tatyana Jakovskaya in St.Petersburg (Russia) and moved to Scotland in mid-90s. With an extensive record of national and international tours and exhibitions, audiences in many countries have been fascinated by Sharmanka’s magic. Its dynamic shows are layered with cross-cultural stories, full of multi-sensory experience and loved across all generations.

Eduard Bersudsky is the leading artist and co-creator of the Millennium Clock Tower at the National Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh) and a recipient of the Creative Scotland award in 2005.

Whether you’re a Glasgow native or a visitor, this truly unique experience will leave you breathless. The amount of detail in the pieces will have you coming back for more! For show details, times and to book tickets visit the WHAT’S ON page.

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. Audiences in many countries have been fascinated by its magic. In Glasgow it has gained a reputation as one of the city’s hidden treasures. Very gripping theatre.
