It's been three years. Yet the rain gods seem to show no signs of respite to a drought-affected village in the story, The Water Seed, written by the Munda group of writers. What ensues is a quest, where young men in the village, travel far and wide in search of water. But will they find it? If the premise of this story made your inner child curious to find out what happened next, don't miss a three-part stop motion piece based on it, presented by city-based Gillo Repertory Theatre.

The performance is one among the eight newly-launched digital productions by the Kolkata-based non-profit ThinkArts, set to premiere this weekend for children in the age bracket of five to 10 years. Sharing the genesis of the project, Ruchira Das, founder-director, ThinkArts, says, "In the depths of the lockdown as access to the live arts was cut off, we felt a jarring need for a platform to connect young audiences to artistes who specialised in creating art experiences for them. Since the pandemic robbed artistes of spaces to perform, we launched the ThinkArts Grant to support these artistes and help them create quality-driven and engaging digital content for young audiences."
