The Kathakar Festival, that begins this Friday, will bring together the old-world and traditional ways of storytelling from across the globe, which are increasingly diminishing. Spread over 17 sessions, the first day on October 11, will have Australian Aborigine Elders Larry Walsh and Ron Murray discussing stories of the indigenous people. The three-day festival, in its 12th edition, is being organised by the cultural forum Nivesh at the capital’s Sunder Nursery. Keeping up with the theme of the festival, the evening sessions will take place at 16th-century heritage park complex adjacent to the magnificent Humayun’s tomb. The opening day will mark the attendance of actor Manoj Bajpayee, singer Mohit Chauhan among others.
