Theatre for children Woodbeat by Helios Theater, Germany - Saturday 21st @ 15.30 + 19.30
The sound of wood"Not only the scenery caused enthusiasm, but also the wood figures created by Michael Lurse, which again and again suddenly emerged from the wood chips and disappeared again. There were wooden figures that looked like animals. They looked for a play fellow, hopped around, made merry sounds or balanced on the tree disks. With the figures, Lurse represented not only feelings, but produced also them in the small spectators.
The children were all absorbed by each balancing act, were frightened when the wooden logs fell down or were pleased about the funny invitations. Apart from the visual aspects however, the performance was a special sound experience. Lurse and his colleague, the Percussionist Andrés Cabrera took children as well as adults to a world of wooden sounds: The wood whined, wood logs were struck together, the wood chips rustled and the figures cleared their ways with knocking and hammering through the wooden landscape.
With WOODBEAT under the direction of Barbara Kölling, HELIOS Theater shows another wonderful performance for the very young. It is part of the countrywide project "theatre from the beginning" and was developed in cooperation with the Théâtre Jeune Public from Strasbourg."

Along the trajectory of the Bangalore Metro, a number of poets will claim their space. on the ground and through the air. What does it mean to share this city? Does it change me?

Ravanama - Tuesday 10th @ 19.30
Ravanama is about the search for the mythological character, Ravana, through the many stories associated with him. On stage we see an actor in the process of making a show. Every time she decides on a way to start the show, an altogether different version takes her in another direction. Is there a link between all these stories?
Why is she so attracted to this man while all the world considers him evil? Is it to do with the performer's attraction to a form – Kathakali - a form that depicts Ravana in high scale and grandeur? Every time the actor dips into the ‘world’ of Kathakali she comes out with a further revelation of Ravana….
