When a ten-headed demon draws darkness over the world, can Prince Rama and Princess Sita's love and courage bring back a glimmer of hope? Join Hanuman's monkey army to restore the true King and Queen to the throne and cast light among the darkness. Forest Tribe Dance Theatre brings new relevance to this ancient tale. Based on Prince of Fire - The Diwali Story by Jatinder Verma and produced in association with live@thelibrary (Oldham), Barefoot Books and Tara Arts, this sumptuous performance with sculptural set, original score, dance, projections and puppetry is a pearl of hope in times of uncertainty.

about the artist
Forest Tribe Dance Theatre was established in 2016 by Debbie Bandara to bring innovative live performances to untapped audiences of children including many who may otherwise never see live theatre. By bringing dance theatre out of traditional venues and into libraries and other public spaces and encouraging school groups as well as public audiences from diverse backgrounds, Forest Tribe engages children directly with the arts. Our immersive performances create a unique world in any setting, without compromising on innovative and detailed set, costume, puppetry and technology.
