7:30pm|Ishara International Puppet Festival|Small Fables (45mins/Non Verbal) Dir. & Prod. Finger and Thumb Theatre Country. UK. Fables are little stories in which animals, forces of nature and inanimate objects encounter each other in a humanised way to explore some foible of human nature or highlight a moral lesson. Inspired by these little encounters and the great fables of Aesop and La Fontaine, �Small Fables� is a magical performance focusing on small encounters between many hand shadow animals. Traditional routines combine with intriguing light-play to create a beautiful and hilarious world where beautiful and hilarious things happen � a camel runs too fast (much to the consternation of his rider!); crabs, fish and sea-snails scamper, swim and slide in a jam-jar sea with mirror-ball bubbles; a rabbit eats finger grass and is interrupted as he sings his song; a shadow dog sticks his tongue in the puppeteer�s ear; two swans meet and transform into a love-heart; a bear dances the blues while a boy who cries wolf once too often gets his comeuppance � and all of this made with just two hands! Tickets at Rs. 350 available at the venue. Suitable for all age groups.
