SUMMARY:The Smoldering Forest: A People Powered Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-of-a-kind\, people-powered cinema experience in Davis \nMeet Sita—space-larva\, seed\, sentient forest\, cyborg goddess\, biohacker\, shaman\, and daughter of the earth—who returns in a time of upheaval to reimagine the stories that shape how we see and move through the world. \nThis live performance by artist Anuj Vaidya re-stories the South Asian epic Ramayana through the voice of its female protagonist\, transforming it into eco-tales at the edge of the sixth extinction. Rather than watching a screen\, audiences gather in a circle and become part of the film—passing images and objects hand-to-hand\, experiencing a live soundtrack\, and taking part in a guided visualization to co-create the story through imagination. \nBlending mythology\, ecology\, and storytelling\, this intimate and participatory experience invites you into a shared act of connection\, creativity\, and discovery. Presented as part of I-House Davis’ Roots & Routes series\, exploring diaspora\, identity\, and belonging.
