Details

Para Actives brilliantly expressive fusion of dance, physical theatre and story telling in a disturbing tale of a young girl's search for truth and knowledge. Al' Daakan tells how a young Asian girl sets out to find the truth about her great-aunt's possession by a jealous male spirit. Along the way she must face up to talking snakes, petty tyrants, ghosts, prophets and politicians; all brought to vivid life by para active's unique and compelling blend of physical theatre. Drawing inspiration from Phoolan Devi and Kali, the Indian goddess of revenge, the performance combines Asian dance, drama and live original music with the gestural language of Bharat Natyam to create a highly accessible piece of challenging and thought provoking theatre.
