An outdoor storytelling performance at a SoBo venue for children and parents will unveil the magic hidden in small acts of kindness and compassion
Daryanani and Rohit Das
City-based educator Dipna Daryanani’s childhood was quite typical; she grew up listening to stories passed down from her grandfather to her father. But unlike most of us who remember them in bits and pieces, she narrates them to this writer vividly, delving into every minute detail, over a short call. The credit, she insists, goes to her father’s interactive storytelling style that engaged all her senses as a child. Tomorrow, Daryanani will hope to bring the same style to life at The Magical Garden, an outdoor interactive musical storytelling session for children and parents.
“When I perform tomorrow, I won’t be putting on a character. It’s a recollection of my own childhood, reshaped into a gripping story,” Daryanani reveals. The hour-long open-air performance will witness the artiste narrate personal anecdotes from her summer vacations spent travelling in trains, playing in her grandfather’s backyard, and running errands with her father. “It’s a trip down the memory lane for the parents in the audience; and a window to a simpler life for children who grew up in the city,” she notes.
