Dastangoi: The Living Experience | Episode 2

In an increasingly fast-paced world, many beautiful things are often forgotten to be appreciated. In such a context, this second episode of InterLinked once again pauses to look at art, and the artist, in such a world. Nandini Pandey continues her conversation with Poonam Girdhani, a film and theatre actress, to delve into the magical realms of the recently revived art of Dastangoi. Being one of the few Dastango’s of India herself, Ms. Poonam Girdhani reflects further on what Dastangoi really is, its rich history and the story of its rebirth. The two through this continued conversation, explore the sphere of the theatre itself, exploring the role of both the artist, and the audience, and how it creates an experience of storytelling so unique, and so filled with histories.
