Sreemati -
On this women’s
day we will be celebrating the woman with all the riches of the
world in her persona - Sreemati. We welcome you to this joyous
celebration through the medium of puppetry.
The day begins
with Abharana, an interactive between the queen, who is a puppet and
her Sakhi, the dancer. It continues remembering the extraordinary
women of ancient India, Chudala, Maithreyi, Savithri, the Grihini and
Sulabha. This will be followed by a glimpse to the world of classical
puppetry.
Presenting this
world of puppets are two women from Bangalore, Anupama Hoskere and Divya
Hoskere. Anupama is a Master puppeteer (an
engineer who has a masters degree from the University of California)
and the founder of Dhaatu Puppet Theater which believes in the
traditional wisdom and values offered by Indian culture and uses
puppetry to spread this knowledge to children in the hope that it will be
a valuable space in their consciousness they can return to a later stage in
their life.
Divya Hoskere, her daughter, is a trained Bharatanatyam artist,puppeteer and
student of Bachelor’s of Design.
