About On the Big Stage: Festivals & Events
When I perform at festivals, I do not just stand on a stage. I bring a portable, professional puppet booth and PA system that fits into amphitheaters or open lawns. The show is designed for crowds, using high-energy character voices and audience interaction to ensure even the folks in the back row feel like they are part of the story.
When you look at a festival crowd, you see a mix of restless toddlers, engaged parents, and curious teens. My challenge is to hold that attention. I do this by blending traditional folktales with improvisational puppetry.
I do not just recite stories. My puppets, like Paprika the chicken, interact directly with the audience. We argue, we sing, and sometimes, we get the audience to join the act. Whether I am performing at the Bangalore Literature Festival or an open-air school ground, the goal remains the same: create a shared moment of wonder.
For organizers, I keep the logistics simple. I travel with my own portable puppet booth and sound equipment, ensuring I can set up in libraries, auditoriums, or open-air festival venues with minimal fuss. These performances are scalable, handling groups of 50 to 500+ attendees. If you have a specific theme, be it a seasonal celebration or a cultural event, I can adapt my repertoire to include stories that fit the vibe, keeping the engagement authentic and rooted in our oral traditions.
