Add to Calendar 2026-05-16 03:30 PM 2026-05-16 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Mithyasur Mithyasur explores the deep influence of myths and stories in the evolution of human civilization. At its heart, it is a play about the complex interplay between truth and illusion, knowledge and ignorance—especially when these are shaped by the powers of state and religion. Set in 18th-century Hindustan, the story unfolds in a small princely state and centers around an ancient temple, its high priest Somdev, and his patron deity—the demon king Kumbh. This is no ordinary demon, but one who governs the state through Somdev's dreams, subtly guiding its rulers, demanding human sacrifices as penance, and maintaining control through fear and prophecy. But what happens when this demon suddenly stops appearing in the priest's dreams? How does one govern a state when divine instructions fall silent— especially in a time when the looming threat of war with the Company government hangs over the valley? Caught between devotion and delusion, Mithyasur follows the journey of Somdev as he seeks answers-not only about the state's future, but also about his own faith, authority, and truth. In this quest, he must engage with the radically different worldview of the royal princess, a believer in science, reason, and human agency. Through their collision and collaboration, Mithyasur unfolds as a tale of belief, power, self-discovery-and the fine line that separates the mythical from the real.

Add to Calendar 2026-05-23 07:30 PM 2026-05-23 07:30 PM Asia/Kolkata Yogi Vs Bhogi Yogi vs Bhogi is a free adaptation of the 7th-century play, Bhagavadajjukam (Sanskrit, ‘bhagavat’ - hermit; ‘ajjuka’ - harlot), also known in English as The Ascetic and The Courtesan. One of the oldest surviving plays in Sanskrit literature, it is a fine example of a `prahasana`, or farce. Layered in witty exchanges about dharma, it is centered around the transmigration of souls between the two titular characters leading to confusion and chaos for the supporting characters who have no answer to the absurdity of it all. Through this retelling in English, Mahesh Dattani, plays around with the idea of gender: its expression, perception, spectrum and the exploration of what one truly is with a confrontation of stereotypes using humour and catharsis. Infused with Yakshagana, the play comes alive when the classic Sanskrit text and the physicality of theatre gels seamlessly with the traditional dance theatre form from coastal Karnataka.
