A grandmama tells a tale of the past; of villages and folks who lived together, of men who farmed and toiled; of women who made houses with mud and bricks. Our ancient land has been built on layers of stories passed on from ages past, and what better way for our restless,modern generation to take a break than to reach into the core of the spoken word: Folklore.

So grab yourself a cup of hot masala chai, a packet of biscuits and gather round our playful bunch of readers. This time we present stories from old villages of India, from the wise words of grandparents and elders; stories of morals and fantasia that root themselves in our earthy pasts; where animals and humans alike live; and live to tell.

We’re reading in Civil Bazar, Lower Dharamshala for the first time!!
So come one, come all!

We’ll be reading from a selected collection of folk tales from Punjab, Tibet and closer to home, from Chamba and Kullu. Our readings range from a Grandma’s tale to Modern Contemporary Folk writings.
Meet us at Aman Food Court, with a special call-out to our local janta to come in with their own tales and stories over a cup of chai to beat the chill.

If you wish to be part of d.r.i.f.t. reads or our on-going theatre activities/workshops, do get in touch with us.
We look forward to seeing you there.
