The Ramayana travelled from India to China and all of South East Asia and greatly influenced most of Asia’s storytelling genres from wayang kulit to dance to puppetry and masks. Adapted by KAMINI RAMACHANDRAN, this great epic of love, adventure, demons and kings will be retold by Singapore’s best loved storytellers. Leave the Kingdom of Ayodhya and enter the Dandaka Forest and travel to the Island of Lanka with royal princes, a kidnapped princess, a monkey general and of course the ten-headed leader of the rakshasa demons! Be enchanted and be transported into the realm of ancient legend!
