A New Diwali Pantomime
Jalebi
Have you ever been to a live Barney or Mickey Mouse show or a Christmas Pantomime? Can you remember it being fun, both for adults and children? Well, Sansaar, a UK-based charity has successfully created original shows of this quality, in Gujarati. Featuring traditional and modern Gujarati nursery rhymes, their first show and music album Geet Gamat, was a national success. Long after the show, children still listen to the songs and watch the videos again and again. Jambu and Jalebi are household names now, and just saying their names makes everyone laugh.
Sansaar has just announced the launch of its brand new show, Ramat-Gamat, to be staged at the prestigious Logan Hall in central London on 31 October 2004. Timed to coincide with the festive Diwali season, the show is for all the family and will be colourful, interactive and, of course, humorous. The story-line is all new, so the Sansaar fan club will have even more to laugh, sing and dance about. The new Ramat-Gamat album will be released on the day, and the show promises to be a foot-tapping, festive fun event. Rush to book your tickets, and don't forget to tell your friends and family!
Each show requires months of hard work and practice, and involves over a hundred volunteers and participants. Detailed attention is given to the venue, lighting, music, sound effects, stage decoration and acting so that the audience can have a memorable interactive experience. It is amazing that London is home to such cultural innovation and it is accessible to everyone. Miss it? Miss out!
