Feature
Productions
I AM RA is the feature production for SFA 2024, offering a powerful reimagining of the Indian epic Ramayana that explores the complex character of Ravana, its legendary antagonist. This production shifts the focus from the traditional hero, Rama, to reveal the multi-faceted layers of Ravana, who is often seen merely as a one-dimensional villain.
This is a Pay-As-You-Wish event with Free Seating in the auditorium
This year, the theme for SFA 2024 is Echoes of the Past: The Essence of Ramayana.
In 2024, we take a different approach from previous years. Unlike before, where we explored a variety of styles and themes, this year’s festival revolves solely around the timeless story of the Ramayana. Each aspect, from our workshops to our showcases, is dedicated to bringing this epic to life with new energy, young talents, and fresh perspectives.
We invite you to witness a convergence of past and present as we celebrate our heritage. Emerging talents and creative minds come together to honor the rich legacy of Ramayana and bring its profound lessons to today’s audience.
This year’s celebration holds extra significance as we look back to 1992, the year we first staged the Ramayana. That milestone production paved the way for our journey, and now, in 2024, we revisit that momentous work with renewed passion and commitment, creating a bridge between generations and continuing our legacy.
