Belvoir St Theater presents THE JUNGLE AND THE SEA, written and directed by S. Shakthidharan & Eamon Flack. Choreographer and cultural advisor is Anandavalli. She also plays the role of Gowrie. Co-produced with Lingalayam.
A mother, in a time of war. Members of her family go missing, one after the other – but she never loses hope. A rich, sweeping new play that combines two great pillars of literature – the Mahābhāratha and Antigone – with the untold histories of the Sri Lankan civil war to forge a new story about surviving loss, discovering love and building a path to justice. The Jungle and the Sea is written in honour of those who survived the war, and the ways they found to uphold their dignity even when everything else was falling down around them.”
Venue: Upstairs Theatre, 18 Belvoir Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010

Announcing December | SPACES FOR DIALOGUE as a part of #TakeTheCityKolkata Pickle Factory Season 3 where through both performance and discourse, the aim is to highlight how the arts can and do comment on, respond to - and ultimately inspire new thinking around - the values with which we choose to live our lives.
This December, join as we ask questions like “What is a 'body'?”, "What is an ‘able’ body?”, “Who enables or disables it?”, “ How and when is a body enabled or disabled? Who says so?”, “How is a body perceived to react - by remaining still or moving - to the surroundings it is situated in?” and “Where does limitation lie?”
