Heart warming cuppa that’s satisfying and smooth
The story begins at the Bangalore City railway station. We meet Kutisa at a street stall selling chai …
Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis’s Guru of Chai is based, very loosely, on the Indian fairytale, Punchkin.
As if New Zealand needs any reminding that Jacob Rajan is a master storyteller.
It is now nearly 20 years since Jacob Rajan’s Krishnan’s Dairy first saw the light of day.
#SeriousLaughter is their Twitter moniker and sure enough Indian Ink’s latest joyful production with soulful intent has themes of mythology …
One good reason to appreciate Indian Ink is that they are an established theatre company that take genuine risks in their work while cohesively maintaining a focus towards the longevity of their art.
Only a complete fool would fail to realise the world is rapidly becoming a pretty horrible place.
THE Opera House stage hasn’t been dressed in such wonderful colours in a long time. Multi-hued sari material has been made into a backdrop of curtains, a patchwork of Indian vibrancy.
The magic of Indian Ink returns after a period of international touring with a new work that has the shrewdness of fable combined with the sweetness of a pop song.
The magic formula, which guaranteed the success of Krishnan’s Dairy, is triumphantly back on display.
The most recent offering from Indian Ink is a stripped-back exploration of story-telling that revels in the enchantments of an art form that is as ancient as humanity and as current as a Facebook profile.
