Pao and the planet
What can a seven-year-old boy do? Play, eat and run around recklessly? Because that’s what most young boys do, right? But Pao, protagonist of the play 1...2...Tree, is busy elsewhere. He has found a secret plant from a lost forest. Not just that, he realises that there are very powerful enemies out there looking for the same plant. Thus begin his adventures. He must return the secret plant to its original home at all costs. But will he succeed? That’s what the rest of the plot is about.
1..2..Tree uses Bunraku, a Japanese form of puppetry, to tell the magical story of a young child who wants to save the planet. Adults have failed at looking after the planet and have only added to problems of the world. So clearly, it’s upto the children now because the future belongs to them.
The play has been directed by Anurupa Roy, one of India’s best known puppeteers based out of New Delhi. Roy’s productions have toured Europe, South Asia, Japan, and elsewhere across the world. Roy’s works often have a social angle as she uses puppetry to raise awareness about issues that concern us in today’s day and climate.
WHERE: Ranga Shankara, JP Nagar WHEN: June 28 (7.30pm) & June 29-30 (3.30pm & 7.30pm) TICKETS: `200, bookmyshow.com
