Act, react
There is a new addition to the bouquet of children’s festivals Mumbai has to offer during summer. And OverAct: The Alternative Theatre Space’s first edition of Ho Gayi Chhutti promises a week full of stimulating experiences for kids. From storytelling workshops by Anita Salim to Gillo Repertory’s theatrical workshops and performances, plays by Rupesh Tillu, a cook-out story, where Birbal’s khichdi will be served in the end, and a speech and drama session using the basics of thumri, there is something for all age groups, including toddlers. For older kids, a radio play that encourages them to make use of the sounds around them to narrate a story and record a play is also part of the line-up.
