Bharat Rang Mahotsav was established a decade ago by the National School of Drama to stimulate the growth and development of theatre across the country. Originally a national festival showcasing the work of the most creative theatre workers in India, it has evolved to international scope, hosting theatre companies from around the world, and is now the largest theatre festival of Asia. The 14th Bharat Rang Mahotsav will be inaugurated with a visually beautiful production of Rabindranath Tagore’s highly symbolic play, ‘ The King of Dark Chamber – ‘Raja’ directed by Ratan Thiyam with Chorus Repertory of Manipur. As a tribute to Tagore on his 150th birth anniversary, the festival has a focus on his works with 14 productions and 4 Allied events from among the 88 plays in the main repertoire and 11 Allied events . At the forefront of the International section this year we have a focus on contemporary Polish Theatre with three very vibrant productions. A series of wrap around programs around the festival include - sight specific, installation based, music and dance theatre projects and performances, a lecture, interactive sessions with the directors, a seminar on " Temporal spaces, corporeality and embodiment in Tagore's theatrical works" and five photographic exhibitions. |
