Add to Calendar 2025-03-25 07:30 PM 2025-03-25 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Lavanyavati Lavanyavati was conceptualised and designed by Savitri Medhatul. Lavanyavati is a performance born from a collaboration with Lavani and Tamasha artists, tracing the vibrant journey of Lavani through the years. Rooted in Maharashtra’s rich folk tradition, Lavani has continuously evolved — shaped by shifting social, political, and cultural landscapes, as well as changing audience tastes. Not only has it endured, but it has flourished, becoming an integral part of contemporary cultural identity. The performance follows Lavani’s path from its origins in the traditional forms of Tamasha and Sangeet Bari, once performed primarily in rural Maharashtra and smaller towns, to its dynamic presence in metro cities like Mumbai. At the heart of this piece is an exploration of the word Lavanyavati — meaning "the one who performs Lavani." The performance embarks on a journey spanning from the early 1800s to the present day, viewing Lavani and Lavanyavati through the powerful lenses of legacy, gender, and modern feminism. Crafted as a documentary theatre experience, the performance blends live Lavani songs with oral histories, archival materials like family photographs, video interviews, and contemporary collaborations — including works with Agents of Ishq and Paromita Vohra. Lavanyavati was first commissioned by the Serendipity Arts Festival in Goa and premiered there in December 2022 to widespread acclaim. Esteemed artists such as Shubha Mudgalji, Aneesh Pradhanji, and Geeta Chandranji were among the audience, contributing to the performance’s celebrated debut. Since its opening, Lavanyavati has toured multiple cities, including performances at The Women’s Theatre Festival at NCPA in Mumbai, Feet On Earth Festival in Hyderabad, Kalarang Festival at Ravindra Bhavan in Margao, Remembering Veenapani Festival at Adishakti in Pondicherry, NMACC and Prithvi Theatre in Mumbai. These performances were attended by eminent personalities from the field of theatre, film, music and dance like Naseeruddin Shahji, Ratna Pathak Shahji, Jackie Shroffji, Ali Fazalji, Vijay Kenkreji, Shafad Khanji, and as mentioned earlier Shubha Mudgalji, Aneesh Pradhanji, Geeta Chandraji. Kali Billi Productions (KBP) is a theatre company based in Mumbai. Savitri Medhatul the founder of Kali Billi Productions is researcher, theatre maker and a documentary filmmaker. Savitri has been collaborating with Lavani and Tamasha artists since 2005. Over the years KBP has produced a documentary film and a theatre production Sangeet Bari which ran successfully for seven years. We also produced a Lavani performance 'Lavani Queens' in 2018 which was commissioned by Serendipity festival. Bangalore vtmani@dnm.in false MM/DD/YYYY

It is a devised work using guttural movement, physical imagery, real stories and text in a bare and raw stage scenario. The work investigates the fear we hold as women in our bodies, the physicality of rape and the general sense of horror this brings about. It confronts the viewer with the sound of bones and flesh hitting the floor juxtaposed with open and displayed sexuality. Bangalore vtmani@dnm.in false MM/DD/YYYY

Add to Calendar 2025-04-04 07:30 PM 2025-04-04 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Siya Ram... The Eternal Saga The Odissi dance drama Siya Ram… The Eternal Saga brings to life the timeless epic of the Ramayana through a mesmerizing blend of movement, music, and storytelling. Opening with Sita’s captivity in Ashoka Vatika, the narrative unfolds in exquisitely choreographed sequences that capture the deep love, painful separation, and eventual reunion of Rama and Sita. The performance masterfully weaves together themes of love, faith, valor, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil, portraying pivotal moments such as Sita’s swayamvara, her abduction by Ravana, and the epic battle that leads to her rescue. Enriched with verses from Maharishi Valmiki’s Ramayana and profound Sanskrit contributions by Ashtavadhani Shri Ganesh Bhat Koppalatota, the production also features evocative Odia lyrics penned by poet Shri Kedar Mishra. The soul-stirring music, composed by Shri Rupak Kumar Parida, is complemented by rhythm compositions from Guru Dhaneswar Swain. The dance direction and choreography are helmed by Madhulita Mohapatra, a recipient of the prestigious Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar from the Central Sangeet Natak Akademi. A celebrated Odissi exponent and visionary choreographer, she is widely acclaimed for her inventive approach to storytelling, intricate movement vocabulary, and the ability to create visually compelling stage narratives. This spectacular production is a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Ramayana, blending classical aesthetics with powerful emotions to transport audiences into a world of devotion, sacrifice, and divine love.
