Director Shaili Sathyu's new play might have adults at their wits end. Her characters, she informs, speak in different Indian languages, which when strung together make absolutely no sense. Yet, when a toddler listens to this gibberish, s/he is likely to break into giggles. That's what theatre for early children (ages 1 to 4) is meant to do - "It doesn't involve linear storytelling, neither does it teach kids language or prepare them for school," says Mumbai-based Sathyu, adding that the sole motivation is to get them to appreciate cultural arts.
