- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 07:55 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: “About Ram” is an experimental theatrical piece using excerpts from the Bhavbhuti Ramayana and told through animation, projected images, dance, masks and puppets.

Katkatha, as a puppet theatre company believe that puppetry is an amalgam of may forms, both plastic and performative and yet it has a distinct identity. Experimenting with different forms will push the boundaries of puppet theatre and expand its identity, a little at a time.

“About Ram” was created with a performance grant from the India Foundation for the Arts and in collaboration with animator Vishal Dar.

The Katkatha Puppet Arts Trust is a New Delhi, India-based puppet theatre company which began in 1998. Since then creating a rigorous training system for puppeteers has been a key focus for the group. In absence of a puppet school or courses to train professional puppeteers in India, Katkatha conducts intensive short courses and workshops in puppet techniques, supports interns who learn by following the work of the company. The focus is to train the next generation of professional puppeteers, create a discourse around puppetry and also build a network of puppeteers.

Run Time: Approximately 55 minutes, with no intermission.

STANDARD or PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN options are available online for this event. Per ticket service fee varies depending on ticket price.
