The Epic Project by Vinay Varanasi
Unveiling the many ideas and subjects that we intend to explore as part of The Epic Project, an immersive storytelling session by storyteller and artist, Vinay Varanasi.
Why these topics, you wonder? Well, because these are all ideas that are relevant to our lives and we thought it’d be fantastic to see how they found/find expressions in our epics!
If we see our epics as mere stories, we have lost the point there itself. Just stories can touch our hearts, but till what point? These stories are packed with something else. They are packed with magic for our souls, healing balms for our karmic baggage, torches for the darkness we might encounter. The idea that these epics have something deeper than what meets the surface is where we need to start from. Only then we can we appreciate them for their myriad offerings.
