Kathakar Festival 2019: Manoj Bajpayee, Imtiaz Ali and others to tell stories
The festival, launched in 2010 under the aegis of UNESCO as part of Ghummakkad Narain, is an ingenious literature festival that fondly remembers Thakur Vishva Narain Singh, the first Braille editor in India.
The Kathakar Festival, that begins this Friday, will bring together the old-world and traditional ways of storytelling from across the globe, which are increasingly diminishing. Spread over 17 sessions, the first day on October 11, will have Australian Aborigine Elders Larry Walsh and Ron Murray discussing stories of the indigenous people. The three-day festival, in its 12th edition, is being organised by the cultural forum Nivesh at the capital’s Sunder Nursery. The theme of this year is using music as a medium to tell stories.
