Mythological and Cultural Shadow Stories

Shadow play is a bridge to our past. My children and I—often known as the Shadow Siblings—work to keep these oral traditions alive through Neralu-Belaku, or the play of shadow and light. We do not just perform; we craft a narrative that connects with the audience.

How We Work

When you book us for a festival or school program, we tailor the storytelling to the occasion. For events like Janmashtami or Vishu, we develop specific sequences that resonate with the theme of the day. Because our art relies on precision, we bring our own high-intensity point-source lights and rear projection screens to guarantee the quality of the shadows.

Performance Details

• Duration: Our signature musical storytelling shows typically last 20 to 25 minutes.
• Custom Stories: If you have a specific message or a company history you want told through shadows, we can build a custom storyboard for you. This includes rehearsal time to sync our movements with your preferred audio or brand logo.
• Setup: We handle the screen and lighting. All we ask from your venue is a space that allows for complete blackout near the stage.

Language is never a barrier—we are comfortable performing in English or Kannada to ensure the story reaches everyone. It is a joy to share these tales, and we look forward to bringing a bit of wonder to your next gathering.
