Performance storyteller Emily Hennessey from the UK on her interest in Indian mythology
Having studied at the University of Kent, Emily Hennessey owes her interest in performance storytelling to her teacher Vayu Naidu.
At the recently concluded Kathakar Festival in Delhi, a host of storytellers enthralled the eager listeners at Sunder Nursery for three days. Emily Hennessey, a performance storyteller based out of Cumbria, UK, was one of them. She performed on two days and presented an engaging illustration of the becoming of Kali and the revenge of Shikhandi from the Mahabharata. With no props save a stick, she stuck out her tongue like the goddess and transformed into a demon as she thumped around the stage in a mad fury. After the performance, Hennessey was greeted with little children asking for another story and a photograph.
