Details

A tale of love and loss, mischief and mayhem. Trestle is back with sumptuous storytelling theatre, vibrant visuals, and powerful physical action. Influenced by South Indian traditions of Kalaripayattu (martial art), Konokol (rhythmic patterns) and mudras (hand gestures), Trestle re-imagines the classical story of Shakuntala for a contemporary time; combining ancient arts with modern words, and inspirational music from India. Devised by the company.
