Indian Mythology and Me at Sierra Madre Playhouse

📍 Theatre: Sierra Madre Playhouse
Share
Dancing Storytellers brings Indian myths to life through a family-friendly program blending classical South Asian dance, folk movement, storytelling, and audience engagement. The performance weaves together three stories: Bheema's meeting with Hanuman, the clever mice who outwit an elephant queen, and Goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura. Artists Danish Bhandara and Tulsi Shah invite children to try out movement and gestures and become part of the world onstage. The program was created by Sheetal Gandhi, Shyamala Moorty, and Ulka Simone Mohanty, and encourages reflection on identity, courage, empathy, and the power of stories.
