Performed at The Sundar Nursery for the KNMA Theatre Festival, New Delhi
This site specific, immersive puppet theatre responded to the festival’s theme: the power of vulnerability. It Looks at the underseen and overlooked lives of insects, and combines it with ideas from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The performance gave the participants a peek into their next lifetime: for which they need to learn and observe the life of insects. I played Mr. Mayfly, one of the 3 masked performers that guided the audience through the series of installations.
While co-designing several aspects of the interactive cupboards I tried to speculate how the insect would build their worlds combining factoids with imagination.
The Enchanted Walk was designed By Katkatha Puppet Arts Trust was commissioned for the KNMA Theatre Festival, New Delhi, India
