KATHASTU! - Myth. Folk. Life.

Mythological and Folk Tales are an integral part of any culture. We have been blessed with a specially large treasure trove of it. Their appeal lies in their succinct and engaging narrative reflecting human emotions and foibles. While providing a universal framework for understanding human nature, they are living repositories of our generational wisdom and connect us to our collective identity and roots.

In this performance we bring you a curated bouquet of 3 such eternally relevant and engrossing tales which will regale the audience with their wit, humour and thought provoking narrative. ‘Gunehgaar Kaun’, ‘Kuchh Nahi Badla Hai, Kuchh Nahi Badlega’ and ‘Bhagya se Takkar’.
