Event Description

16 Dec | 7.30 pm | Ee Gida, Aa Mara | 25 mins

Directed by: Sananda Mukhopadhyaya For children between ages 2.5 - 3 years  

The plant stands still, the tree too. On the surface we see silent beings, often solitary. Come a little closer. There are sounds. Come even closer. There are entire worlds. Ee Gida, A Mara translates from Kannada to ‘This Plant, That Tree’. The play explores the two, and magnifies the micro environments they house through movement, visuals and sound. The play aims to create an experience for toddlers even before speech has emerged in their life. Creating a world of seeds, leaves and gentle sounds, the play tries to help an infant collect experiences that may help them make sense of the world around them.  

17 Dec | 3.30 pm | Old Man and The Sea | 40 mins

Directed by: S Surendranath For children above 6 years  

Based on Ernest Hemingway’s novella, this is the story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman and the greatest catch of his life. For 84 days he has returned home empty-handed. On the 85th day, he sets out far beyond into the sea and drops his lines. At noon, a big fish, which he calls Mari, takes the bait but the old man cannot pull it out. Instead, the fish begins to pull the boat. For five days the old man struggles with the fish, with sharks and with the sea, to survive and get back home.  

17 Dec | 7.30 pm | Circle of Life | 45 mins

Directed by: S Surendranath  For children above 5 years  

From childhood to old age, a human life goes through various stages - physically and emotionally. A child becoming an old man or an old man becoming a child – thus completing the circle of life – is a miracle as each stage of life has its own unique gift to give to humanity. Let us remember that at each stage of our life, we are protected and nurtured by nature. We ought to take the same attitude towards nurturing the human life cycle as we do towards saving the environment. Be it a child or a boy or an old man, life at every stage is precious, very very precious.       

Bring your little ones and watch ‘Circle of Life’, ‘Old Man and The Sea’ and ‘Ee Gida, Aa Mara’ at Jagriti Theatre in December!
