3 portraits for one audio book
Ahelia, a 14 year old Last School student, Yam, a 10 year old TLC student, and Jesse, a theater teacher and actor, share a passion for the theater. Here they talk about their lives in Auroville. Some extracts from their new performance, an audio book based on The Water Book, Jalam and Savita’s Big Voyage, are given together with the interviews. Written by Sandrine, it is a marvelous journey with the spirit of water, named Jalam and played by Jesse, together with two Indian children. Savita is played by Ahelia and Sindhu is played by Yam.
They travel through the ecosystem, and specifically the water cycle, in a compassionate story of friendship and collaboration with nature. Jalam shows the children many wonders of nature, explains scientific facts and new discoveries, and the mismanagement done by humans. He also gives clues on how to restore harmony. The paper version of the Water Book is illustrated by Emanuele and is available in four languages: English, French, Tamil, and Italian. The complete audio version will be available soon.
