The Adventures of Huanuman

Comments (0) By Adam Castañeda Thursday, Jun 14 2012

The Hindu deity Hanuman is the focus of Shunya Theatre’s latest production, The Adventures of Hanuman, featuring a largely youth cast, along with local adult actors and composers. Staged at the Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex, Aditi Kapil’s children’s musical tells the story of how the monkey god is done with being teased by his friends, who laugh at him because of his unbelievable tall tales. But Hanuman is only just getting started. The audience follows the protagonist as he spins a yarn of the world’s creation, loosely based on the ancient Sanskirt epic The Ramayana.
