La forêt ébouriffée
A Dance performance
Tuesday, 7th June 2016 – 7:00pm
LTG Auditorium, 1, Copernicus Marg, Mandi House,
Near Connaught Place, New Delhi, Delhi 110001

 
About the spectacle: Directed by Christian and François Ben Aïm, La forêt ébouriffée is an art performance for all ages. This spectacle, between dance, theatre and tale, is adapted from a children’s book written by Mélanie Thierry. Against a backdrop of video-projections made by the writer, two dancers narrate the story of Racine(Narated with English subtitles).
Racine a little boy, who no one cares for, flees from the hostile daily life and takes refuge in a forest. In this encroaching forest, he sets-off on a surprising adventure, gradually tracing a path that leads him back to himself. La forêt ébouriffée is a poetic journey inside childhood evoking with aptness the difficulty and pleasure of becoming an adult. The scenography and video projections deftly interpose virtual images with the bodies in motion, immersing the audience into a world that is as moving as it is extraordinary.
This beautiful show is for kids and adults alike, and free to walk in.

Arun Budhiraja, founder of Krishna Prerna Charitable Trust, who has conceived this festival says: “It is so gratifying to see the Flute Festival evolve meaningfully over the past six editions. This seventh brings in the partnership of UN; from next year on, we hope to take this festival to overseas venues too.”
