Event Description

Do you know how the lovely Kummi originated? Or what Subramanya Bharathi has to do with Me? From a Queen mysteriously disappearing to a pot of unending nectar that found its way into my hands, I bring to you the world of Tamil Literature - from the Sangam era to the Here and Now. A dance-storytelling in English for the entire family... And it’s funny how it all becomes Our Story. KUMMI, SUBBU and Other Stories is a solo dance-storytelling piece for children and adults alike. Loosely based on the `kummi` song written by Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathi, this piece travels from Bharathi to other freedom fighters, and from Sangam literature to modern day works such as those by RK Narayan, and some more! This piece premiered in March 2024 during the International Storytelling Day celebrations in North Bangalore.
