Event information

Deep in the forest, Rama & Sita live in exile - eyes watch their every move, and the universe shimmers with illusion. Epic comic strip meets ancient Indian myth as storyteller Emily Hennessey and virtuoso sitar player Sheema Mukherjee conjure up the vivid, wild and beguiling world of the Ramayana, shot through with bitter rivalry, wild battles, love, loyalty, and cosmic monkeys. When his wife is kidnapped by a ten headed demon king and Rama lies helpless on the battlefield, it’s time for Sita’s little-known story to unfold. Expect the unexpected...
RUNNING TIME: 50mins + 50mins + interval (120mins total)
