SHE-HE-SHEY

Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore's texts and paintings, this 1 hour 20 minute play in English, Hindi and Bangla is suitable for ages 12 plus. This is a stage adaptation of Tagore's book 'Shey' (Se), a collection of stories of extraordinary adventures, created for his nine-year old granddaughter Nandini. To keep the tales spinning he employs 'Shey', a person constituted entirely of words and rather talented at concocting tales. It is is a free flowing response to the stories in the book Shey, set in a collage along with poems and paintings by Tagore.

The production has been conceptualised by Shaili Sathyu in collaboration with choreographer Hamsa Moily and uses a range of movement styles to tell the stories of Shey.
