Produced by EgoPo Classic Theater and created in collaboration with Papermoon Puppet Theatre and Kalanari Theatre Movement, 2024

More than 28 years in the making, EgoPo presents the world-premiere re-telling of the ancient Hindu epic in collaboration with two of Indonesia’s vanguards in the performing arts. Taking place in a giant open-air tent in Philadelphia's Navy Yard within a week-long Indonesian food and cultural festival, the staging integrates the puppetry, dance, theater and music expertise of the three companies to tell the entirety of the ascension of Rama, King of Ayodhya, and his lifelong understanding of Dharma.
