Introduction
Mom, there are no stars on the sky here!
Mom, the stars want us to play the Flute of Ramol!
Mom, the stars want us to play the Flute of Ramol!
Himachal Pradesh is a place where honest people till the barren earth with appreciation.
Ramol and his family is one such family, living off a small plot of land. One day, however, Ramol’s family loses everything when a horde of locusts descends upon the village, and suffering from the famine that follows, Ramol’s family is forced to kill Ramol’s yak friend for food.
Nur, Ramol’s daughter, journeys into the valley of death where even the stars are hidden, accompanied by a fairy born from the soul of the yak.
Ramol and Brinjamati in turn take off in search of their daughter. The couple must find a flute that will lead them into the starless valley.
Can the family meet each other again?

“The Land of Ramol” is a children’s performance based on a children’s picture book, which is in turn based on an old folktale passed down in India’s Himachal Pradesh region.
The performance seeks to bring the humble yet rich colors of the Indian subcontinent and the folklore of Himachal Pradesh to the audience members through objects and music inspired by them, and the script is formed as a fable-like structure to bring alive the dramatic energy of the source material. The journey of Ramol’s family and the yak is intended to depict the virtue of respect toward life through a fun and emotionally moving story.
We invite our audience members to explore the themes of climate change, human greed and the damages caused by it, familial love and friendship, an through them the value of nature and life.
“The Land of Ramol” was a project selected through the Asia Culture Center (ACC) Asia Story Children and Young Adult Content in 2020. After its noncontact showcase in the same year, it is now made into a special performance to be put on stage in December 2021.
