Tales that travel the world

There isn't a better way to learn about the contrasting cultures and traditions of foreign lands than to explore and engage with their art. That is exactly what Ulka Mayur, a storyteller, theatre personality and folklorist has set out to do.

This Sunday, at a studio in Andheri, she will introduce Globetrotting with folktales, a unique interactive storytelling session where folklore from different countries around the world will be narrated, accompanied by some catchy music played by an instrumentalist.

Being a doctorate laureate in literature, Mayur curates folktales for children and adults and performs them in museums, libraries, schools, literary festivals, and corporate events. "Picking a story is tricky. I have certain yardsticks for that, like it needs to be entertaining, relatable, child-friendly and offer a fresh perspective," she informs. The session will be in English and Hindi and it's open to anybody above four years of age.

ON November 10, 11 am
AT Harkat Studios, Bungalow 94, Aram Nagar 2, JP Road, Versova, Andheri West.
