We at KIIT and KISS were proud to present Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth in Santali, bringing Shakespeare’s timeless works to life through one of India’s indigenous languages. Directed, narrated, adapted, and performed entirely by 20 students, the production showcased the power of creativity, collaboration, and cultural expression.

After a widely appreciated performance at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, the students brought this unique theatrical experience to Bhubaneswar, where it received an equally enthusiastic response from audiences. The appreciation and admiration it garnered reflected the impact of presenting global literary masterpieces through a distinctly indigenous cultural lens.

As we celebrated 100 years of the Ol Chiki script, the production highlighted the richness of Santali heritage while amplifying indigenous voices on a global platform. It stands as a powerful example of how literature transcends boundaries and how young minds can reimagine global classics through their own language, traditions, and cultural identity.
