Counting down to Kumbi Kathawa: And getting to know the stars
With just a handful of days left to ring the
curtains up on what is arguably the most creative rendition of
Sinhala ballet, Kumbi Kathawa (Ant Story), it is a flurry of
activity at the ant kingdom, as the students of Chitrasena
Kalayathanaya perfect what is already being described as a
“ground-breaking theatrical performance”. The much acclaimed and
much awaited children’s ballet, written and choreographed by
Anjalika Chithrasena and directed by Heshma Wignaraja will be
re-staged for the third time at the Bishop’s College Auditorium on
October 21, 22, 23 and 24. The curtains will go up at 7.15 p.m. each
day. Kumbi Kathawa is a revolutionary play in more ways than one. It
is bigger, bolder and brighter than any other play staged so far,
thanks to the choreography, lighting, music and costumes. Around 60
students between the ages seven and late twenties are taking part in
this latest production.
