Mann Vaasanai: Stories from the Soil

A storytelling performance, from Chennai to Kanyakumari to Madurai to each and every corner of the Tamil Land lie tales that are rooted in the soil. From Rajas and Ranis to personal relationships and adultery, the tales have something for every audience. 

Inspired by folktales and Folk myths across the land, the performance storytelling in English and Tamil will be smattered with folk songs, lullabies, and riddles that are ingrained in the culture.

Over the course of 60 minutes, the audience will be taken on a journey through these stories, into layered, often unspoken narratives that carry the textures, rhythms, and soul of the land and its people.
