Residents use puddles, reflections, and umbrellas for theatrical improvisation.

Mumbai has launched Puddle Performance Art, a program where residents interpret rainy streets using puddles, reflections, and umbrella choreography. According to The Times of India, instructors provide guidance on movement, timing, and audience engagement.

Participants report amusement, creativity, and social bonding. Organizers provide waterproof mats, structured routines, and safety oversight. Critics question feasibility in crowded streets, but supporters highlight urban performance innovation, stress relief, and cultural enrichment. Future expansions include seasonal festivals, neighborhood competitions, and online showcases.
