About the Event

Octave Foundation’s Wari - a storytelling series; started its journey in June 2016.
The word Wari means ‘story’.


Wari is an initiative about celebrating ethnic diversity and showcasing the weft and warp of our social fabric through folktales. Our carefully curated and written stories connect, entertain and make you ponder. Our forte is to provide a platform to the lost art form of live narration of folk stories as a tool to promote cultural insights and unity amongst diverse communities. Translated into Hindustani, these folk tales are from different parts of the country (and the world).


Stories from different Wari chapters have been showcased more than 30 times at different spaces across India.


At this presentation, we bring two Manipuri folktales and a story from Middle East

Loushing Tannaba urf Gupp
Through this Manipuri tale (preceded by a Jewish story), we see how the oral tradition rests upon the teller's ability to stretch the narrative. Enjoy the richness of folk by listening to this contest of wits.
