The Waste Land – Drama

Add to Calendar 2026-07-30 07:30 PM 2026-08-02 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata The Waste Land Inspired by T. S. Eliot’s groundbreaking poem The Waste Land, this powerful German production brings the text to life through a striking blend of performance, sound, and visual imagery. Written in the aftermath of the First World War, The Waste Land reflects a world that feels unsettled and empty. The poem moves through a series of voices and images that capture this sense of uncertainty, revealing both the disorientation of the time and its emotional undercurrents. At the centre of the performance is a solitary actor who moves through these shifting voices, accompanied by a live, evolving soundscape. Using simple materials like steel and plaster, the stage becomes an active space. Sounds are created live: scraping, striking, resonating, turning the stage into both instrument and environment. As layers are broken open, new images and associations surface, inviting the audience to piece together their own experience of the work. This production offers a distinct interpretation of the poem; through layers, changing perspectives, and moments that allow for personal interpretation. Bangalore vtmani@dnm.in false MM/DD/YYYY

Confessions from Mental Asylum – Psychological, Contemporary,Comedy

Add to Calendar 2026-06-26 07:30 PM 2026-06-26 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Confessions from Mental Asylum Confessions from a Mental Asylum follows the raw, unsettling, and darkly humorous journey of Maverick, a man whose only crime is refusing to live a life shaped by monotony and social conditioning. An absurdist soul with an instinctive intolerance for pretense, Maverick navigates the world with a brutal, unfiltered honesty that society cannot or will not  tolerate. His refusal to conform becomes the very reason he is branded “unstable” and confined to a mental asylum (There are other reasons too that will be revealed in the play). Inside the asylum’s walls, Maverick encounters a world that is ironically far more absurd than he is. Through fragmented memories, surreal conversations, and sharply honest monologues, he unravels the thin line between sanity and insanity. The institution meant“fix” him becomes a mirror reflecting society’s fear of truth, individuality, and unpredictability. The play blends absurdism, introspection, and dark wit, immersing the audience in Maverick’s confessions, sometimes chaotic, sometimes painfully clear. Confessions from a Mental Asylum challenges the audience to question the conventional sought of expression in communication to society and ourselves, should they be re-evaluated or their existence is a Burden.

Add to Calendar 2026-06-27 03:30 PM 2026-06-27 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Jhumkewali In classic girl-meets-girl fashion, Rekha and Bindu collide over a lost-and-found earring in the corridors of Sophia College for Women. They are young, hopeful and always late to catch the local train. They waltz around Bombay to the sound of Rekha’s jangling ears, and their affection slowly blossoms over chai-sutta, stolen nights at the disco, and each other’s company. But it’s 1974, and Bindu and Rekha must navigate a Bombay dogged with rising prices and unrest in their quest to set up their first proper ‘date!’ Bangalore vtmani@dnm.in false MM/DD/YYYY

Add to Calendar 2026-06-28 07:30 AM 2026-06-28 07:30 AM Asia/Kolkata Morning Raag with Sarfaraaz Khan In the Hindustani classical tradition, the early morning hours are reserved for ragas that evoke quiet reflection, serenity, and a sense of awakening. Join acclaimed sarangi artist Sarfaraaz Khan for an intimate recital featuring a morning raga presented in both gayaki and tantrakari styles, followed by a thumri or dhun. Set in an intimate outdoor setting, this concert is part of an ongoing series that celebrates not only the tradition of morning ragas, but also the essence of the morning itself—the stillness, possibility, and sense of beginning that each new day brings. Immerse yourself in the rich, resonant voice of the sarangi and experience a morning of deep listening, where melody, atmosphere, and the natural rhythms of the day come together in a uniquely contemplative musical journey. Sarfaraaz Khan will be accompanied by Sumith S. Naikon the tabla Bangalore vtmani@dnm.in false MM/DD/YYYY

Add to Calendar 2026-07-03 07:30 PM 2026-07-04 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Royal Indian Theatre's "The Ungodly Disco" The play has nothing to do with God or dancing. The world, in its nature, has plenty of ungodly things happening all the time. In fact, if Lewis Carroll had written Alice in Wonderland today, it would have read, “Seven ungodly things before breakfast.” This story is a mischievous comedy about one of them. It is the first post-contemporary play in India, built in tandem with gurus across Thiruvananthapuram & Thrissur, featuring world-class performers like Priya Nambudiri & Karthik Manikandan, led by local actors like Mayura Baweja, Kripa Anne & Sambit Debnath, with industrial art from designers like Rahul K.P. & Abeer Lala, as well as dozens of other artists, including Norman Leslie Doss, Aditi Pandit & Tia Nagaraj.
