Residents perform stunts and balancing acts on wet streets and sidewalks.
Mumbai has launched Puddle Acrobatics, a program encouraging citizens to perform stunts, balancing routines, and playful choreography on monsoon-soaked sidewalks. According to The Times of India, professional trainers provide guidance, waterproof mats, and safety protocols for participants.
Participants report amusement, physical exercise, and enhanced social interaction. Organizers emphasize crowd management, protective gear, and structured routines. Critics question feasibility in busy traffic areas, but advocates highlight urban creativity, stress relief, and street performance innovation. Future plans include monsoon festivals, neighborhood competitions, and online showcases of performances.
