Add to Calendar 2026-10-16 07:30 PM 2026-10-16 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.

Love arrives at different ages, in different guises, knocking each time as though for the first time — and each time, leaving behind something different. The journey between two people unfolds through many layers, each carrying an experience of its own. Somewhere along the way, knots may form, and begin to take an unfamiliar shape. Perhaps all a bond needs is a little room — to breathe, to exist. For before we can make sense of another, there is the quieter, more difficult question of making sense of ourselves. This play is presented by Abhivyanjana Foundation, an arts and impact collective, committed to telling stories that matter. Bangalore vtmani@dnm.in false MM/DD/YYYY

The smell of a familiar room. And five grains of sugar. Just enough to bring an entire childhood back. Shakkar Ke Paanch Daane is a poetic journey through memory, childhood, family and the quiet ache of growing up. As memories begin to take shape around him, Rajkumar finds himself confronting the things he has spent years trying to outrun: the weight of the past, the fear of becoming ordinary, the things left unsaid, and the quiet ways in which we lose and sometimes find ourselves. Between what happened and what we remember happening lies a world of mothers, friends, departures, dreams and the places that made us. A world where a boy can still run through the seasons, where a letter can hold a lifetime, and where the past waits; not to be changed, but to be understood. Tender, playful and deeply human, Moh Maya Productions' Shakkar Ke Paanch Daane about the sweetness of memory, the weight of what remains unsaid, and the people we become when we finally look back, and asks a simple question: When we grow up, what part of us stays behind?

Add to Calendar 2026-10-23 07:30 PM 2026-10-23 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Bangalore Kabir Festival Presents Sagun Nirgun Sagun Nirgun सगुण निर्गुण A musical journey from form to the formless through songs of Meerabai, Kabir, Sufi songs, Vachanas, and Bhavageethe. This evening brings together three voices from very different corners of India's devotional music traditions. MD Pallavi is a Bangalore-based singer, composer, and actor with a degree in Hindustani classical music from Benares Hindu University, who has spent close to three decades performing Kannada Bhavageethe and Vachanas — the poetry of saints like Akka Mahadevi and Basavanna — carrying their words into contemporary musical spaces. Vedanth Bharadwaj, trained in Carnatic, Hindustani, and Western classical traditions, specializes in the songs of saint-poets from the Bhakti and Sufi lineages, moving fluidly between Kabir, Meera, and the mystic poets on either side of that divide. Mir Rajak carries forward the Sufiyana Qalam tradition of the Mirasi community of Pugal, Rajasthan — hereditary singers who have, for generations, rendered the kalams of Sufi mystics and the bhajans of Kabir and Meera in the same breath, treating devotion as one continuous, borderless song.

Add to Calendar 2026-10-24 03:30 PM 2026-10-24 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata The Thumb A familiar myth enters unfamiliar territory. The Thumb revisits the world of Ekalavya and Dronacharya as a contemporary inquiry into authority, knowledge, choice and the many ways power shapes freedom. The play fractures the moment of Dronacharya asking for Ekalavya s thumb into parallel realities, initiating an investigation by Ekalavya s community- The Collective. At the heart of this encounter is a charged exchange between Drona and the Collective, where listening becomes an act of resistance and respect, even between adversaries. - A dynamic performance language derived from Ottamthullal, the non-linear narrative structure of Kutiyattam s Nirvahanam and the movement vocabulary of Kalakshetra Manipur. - A soundscape that brings Kerala s traditional percussion instrument, the Edakka and Bengal s folk string instrument, the Dotara, to musical crossroads, making The Thumb a result of collaborations from across the country.
