Water scarcity is a real and present concern that plagues the entire planet. This is the reality of modern times. And hence, conserving water today, and each day is a necessity, to ensure that there’s water for the children of the future. But how does one explain this grim reality to young minds without sounding preachy? The answer is simple — dramatise it, add a few songs to it, and a dash of mythical creatures, and voila, there’s a show!

Go With The Flow, a play for children, directed by Adhaar Khurana, is set in a dystopian time, where the rivers have dried up, the government is rationing water and the water mafia goes unchecked. “The play deals with a serious topic, but there are a lot of comic elements in it. Like the water mafia is actually a group of children!” the director shares, adding, “These hustlers are a fun group of kids who work for a boss and keep the citizens on their toes.”
