SUMMARY:WIP Specials | Rihla
DESCRIPTION:A play by Aagaaz Repertory / Directed by Neel Chaudhuri\nTranslated by Rahul Rai / based on ‘I Want A Country’ by Andreas Flourakis\nA crisis in a nameless country brings about a demand for change. A motley group of young people seek to chart out a course for a ‘new country’\, a new identity\, fresh values\, a space to feel safe within … They argue and fight\, they ridicule and educate each other\, they reveal their dreams\, fears and secrets. Their quest to define a new world is a voyage into some great unknown: to a place they can only imagine and covering a distance they cannot fully conceive. It is also a leap of faith\, for them and for us. At the very least\, they will arrive to tell the tale. \n

SUMMARY:WIP SPECIALS | THEATRE PREMIERE | MAATI KATHA (Earth Stories) | HINDI | (60 mins)
DESCRIPTION:RECOMMENDED AGE GROUP: 12+ years \nLANGUAGE: Hindi \nIn the dangerous and magical land of Sunderbans\, living is about a fragile balance – between land and water\, forest and field\, domestic and wild\, human and human\, human and nonhuman\, calm and storm. As each stakes claim\, each encroaches upon the other’s space\, survival is possible only through stories and beliefs. Bonbibi is said to have come to the ‘Land of the 18 Tides’ to help the people\, tigers\, deer\, crabs\, trees\, soil and water…  all that cohabit there. But\, only if we agree to her terms. And when she looks away\, devastation follows. In this Object Theatre performance\, clay dolls from the region tell contemporary stories of their land. Stories as local as they are global. \nMaati Katha is a play that emerges from the soil. It draws inspiration from the lives & philosophies of the people of Sunderbans\, from its folk legends and stories\, its rich performance tradition of Bonbibi Jatrapala\, and music traditions like Bhatiyali\, Baul\, Jhumur; marrying it to contemporary object and material theatre practices. Through the play\, Sunderbans emerge as a reflective surface for worldwide concerns. \nThe performance came to life as part of a larger ethnographic project that researches traditional doll making practices of West Bengal\, a state in East India; exploring histories and contemporary stories surrounding rural Bengal’s myriad doll-making practices and its linkages to tangible and intangible heritage conservation. \nDATES & TIMINGS: \n22nd Sep : 7.00 pm (English) \n23rd Sep: 7.00 pm (English) \n24th Sep: 6.00 pm (Hindi) \n29th Sep: 7.00 pm (Hindi) \n30th Sep: 7.00 pm (English) \n1st Oct: 6.00 pm (Hindi) \nBOOK NOW
