Radhashtami – the divine Consort Radha’s birthday was celebrated last weekend mainly in Barsana and Vrindavan. We landed up celebrating this event dramatically. We watched Samantak Teerth, a play based on the life of Shri Krishna. Staged by Adadyantara and scripted and directed by Dr. Madhuri Subodh, the venue was LTG Auditorium.
Thespian Pankaj Kapur has planned a selection of plays on dreams and the first in this series, Dreamz Sehar, was recently staged at Siri Fort, New Delhi. The theme had us all excited and we had to watch Sehar. But we were not alone in our dream journey. Serpentine queues at the Siri Fort entry that evening proved that we had enough co-passengers sharing our aspirations.
The 51 days long theatre extravaganza – the 8th Theatre Olympics dropped curtains last evening. Theatre Olympics is held every 4 years and this year it was hosted by National School of Drama under the aegis of Ministry of Culture, Government of India. 51 days of theatre and how we say!
NSD’s Theatre Olympics is a melange of plays in all possible genres – from comedy to tragedy – from nouveau experiments to traditional nautanki – from song and dance based musicals to non verbal plays. We managed to watch a multitude of styles in this theatre extravaganza this year. “Across the sea”, directed by Anurupa Roy was probably the first puppet play we watched in this festival. Puppets are a great story-telling medium and we welcome the inclusion of this genre in this annual theatre bonanza.
Bharat Rang Mahotsav, NSD, i.e., National School of Drama’s annual theatre festival is bigger this year.
