| Bahurupia
is an ancient performing art. The remaining families which retain
this tradition travel throughout India just like nomads, living
in poverty. The story shows us the life in a camp where some
Buhurupia families live and it is told by Tapon, a kid eager
to bequeath the artistic heritage of his ancestors.

Pietro
Silvestri was born in 1968. He began his career as a video
artist and theatrical director. In 1997 owing to the acquaintance
of Indian director Abani Biswas, he travels to Bengala where
he works for four years with a group of traditional artists.
He shot a series of documentary films analysing social and
anthropological aspects of West Bengala’s culture: Saraswati
Puja, Sacrifice for Kali (1998) and Bahurupia – The
Art of Disguise.
