The Theft of Sita

Nigel Jamieson & I Wayan Wija

Theatre

Directed by Nigel Jamieson, this international collaboration brings together artists ranging from a superb Balinese shadow puppet master to Mambo Designer Reg  Mombassa, composer Paul Grabowsky, and members of his Art Orchestra to Balinese gamelan musicians. The Theft of Sita  is inspired by the great classical story of the Ramayana.  At its heart lies a commitment to creating a closer understanding of the plight of our nearest neighbor through a style of theatre full of humour, passion and imagination.
