Kalpavruksha - Performance by Janani Murali

Kalpavruksha is the Eternal Banyan, standing witness to Time and Life. Generations of men and women have rested in her shade and shared a part of their lives with her. She accepts them all like the ocean that welcomes every stream of water. And in that acceptance, every one of their stories becomes a part of hers. She stands today too, regal and majestic. As we walk her shade, she beckons with stories of the past, stories of our times and stories that are beyond time itself. Come, Listen to Her.

Kalpavruksha offers insight into human emotion, intention and interaction. The intersections at which power and identity play crucial roles gives way to moments of human surrender. At the crux of it all is our eternal question. 'What is Truth?'
