Karthika Naïr in conversation with Jai Arjun Singh
Jai Arjun Singh and Karthika Naïr discuss journeys from book to performance and celluloid in their favourite adaptations, particularly, of epics. They delve into Naïr's experience in the shows she has scripted for Akram Khan, Tim Yip, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and other artists to reflect on the changes involved in bringing a work alive in a totally different medium, from the solitary freedom of the page to the creative hubbub of collaboration.
