The Smoldering Forest: A People Powered Cinema
Join us for a one-of-a-kind, people-powered cinema experience.
Meet 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.
This 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.
Blending 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.
