Multimedia theatre in Bengaluru

What a unique, magical theatre experience that was! Today as a class we went to watch Saltbush, a play for children brought to India by the Children’s Cheering Carpet. The play was enacted by three actors and the setting was in the aboriginal parts of Australia. The whole experience was a treat for the senses and the best part was that the children had many opportunities to participate. It was a joy to see them chasing the yellow balls on the splendid white carpet! Surely finds a spot in my favourite memory files:)  

The production made brilliant use of the sensor technology, in which devices respond to a signal when touched. (The brochure also says it uses infra red image technology but not really sure of what it means - *makes a mental note to read it up*).

The storyline was very simple but with all the beautiful music (didgeridoo,clapping sticks etc), lights and movements it made one gorgeous spectacle! One thing that I would have loved to see is the actors interacting with the children after the play - that would have been a wonderful chance for kids to find some answers and voice their perspectives! 

Also, this was my first Ranga Shankara experience and I have been hearing some super good reviews about it ever since I moved to this city. No wonder it's been on my Bangalore wishlist. I am delighted that my first trip there was in the company of the ones that I adore the most- children! We didn't get to explore much of the theatre itself, but we did get ourselves a sandwich and a cuppa (in a chai glass) at their famous cafe . 

I really wish I had enough friends in Bengaluru with young children to recommend this brilliant production to them. But the truth is I only know a few and I’m not even in touch with them - not sure if it’s a great idea to write to them out of the blue about a play in the city!    

Or maybe it’s not such a bad idea really. Live theatre wins anyday.

Funnies: On our way to Rangashankara, we were stuck in massive traffic more than once. At one point, we were right behind a coach whose rear window was painted with two images of Lord Krishna as a baby prompting the boys to ask in their inimitable style, "Who are those blue babies?"!!
