DIWALI FAMILY DAY
HANUMAN THE HERO
Sat 22 Oct, 11am & 1pm – Tickets £6*
Hanuman is considered by some to be the oldest superhero in the world! Born to the Wind God ‘Vayu’, he has the body of a monkey but embodies eternal strength and youth.
This brand new show is a piece of dance theatre tailored for children aged 5 to 11 years. It illustrates Hanuman’s life through movement and tells the folktale of his involvement in the story of Rama and Sita.
This enchanting drama depicts Hanuman’s heroic episodes in a fun and witty way, bringing the story of Diwali to life.
