Kathputli Colony: A Tale of Art and Resistance

Kathputli Colony is India's biggest community of traditional artists, home to thousands of musicians, dancers, puppeteers and street-performers. Despite being forced from their homes into transit camps around Delhi, they keep their creative spirit and acts of resistance alive though these artforms. This show is a celebration of our culture: first-hand stories of courage and persistence told through Indian folk songs, traditional puppetry, musical instruments and explosive Dhol drumming, guaranteed to leave you dancing in your seats!
