Poem of an Ending
POEM OF AN ENDING is a stage adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s ‘Shesher Kobita’, a classic revered by many. The novel has been adapted as radio plays and into a film in Bengali. However, this is for the first time ‘Shesher Kobita’ is adapted for the stage in English for a wider audience. This literary piece is considered as one of the best works of Tagore.
The play recounts the iconic love story of Amit Ray, a barrister educated at Oxford, whose virulent intellectualism reveals itself in its opposition to all forms of tradition. He meets Labonyo in a car accident and the romance builds up in the misty hills of Shillong. Amit’s iconoclasm meets Labonyo’s sincere simplicity through a series of dialogues and poems. But will these two worlds finally meet? The novel explores the realities of love as romance and marriage through a meeting of two mature minds. The story is also supported by Ketaki, Shovon, and Yogomaya who have critical roles in this story of love and conflict.
The play is presented in a unique format where each lead character is represented by an actor and a dancer/movement expert. The unique combination represents love as genderless and universal. The format brings in the contemporary element to the play and makes the production engaging for a young audience. The core idea behind the production is to present Tagore in a new age format, which has not been done yet on stage. With POEM OF AN ENDING, we have attempted to bring Tagore closer to the audience of this new generation and introduce them to the global genius in a new format.

Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra presents ‘Krishna’
Event Description : Padmashri Shobha Deepak Singh (Director & Vice Chairperson – Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra) looks forward to your presence, at the presentation of Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra’s epic 43rd edition of ‘KRISHNA’.
Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra presents the mesmerising dance drama of KRISHNA, depicting the fascinating persona’s life, abounding with legends, myths, miracles and adulation, over a span of three thousand years, portraying the fascinating journey of the playful icon from his adorable childhood and youthful antics, to the centre stage of human reverence. To enhance the visual appeal of the show, the Kendra is using the LED wall for the first time.
‘Krishna’ emotes the intrinsic truths of life, appealing in their fundamental simplicity, as enumerated by Lord Krishna. These lie within the folds of innumerable anecdotes, ensconced in His life’s tales, perpetually inspiring in their traditional or modern context. Padamshri Shobha Deepak Singh’s meticulous vision and execution presents all aspects of Lord Krishna’s persona, endowing a fascinating energy to the presentation. Brilliant choreography, lighting, costumes, sound, technical support and ambiance which create a suitable background, contribute to making all her productions heart warming. In the showcase of violence, despite all odds, there emerges hope for eventual peace, despite apparent chaos in the present.
Produced and directed by Mrs Shobha Deepak Singh

The Trialogue Company presents ‘Tansen’ and ‘Meera’ Hindi Plays
Event Description : The Trialogue Company presents ‘Tansen’ and ‘Meera’ Hindi Plays
14 September :
About Tansen Play : Every artist has a journey. A journey of an endless search. A journey that is filled with ups and downs, acceptance and rejection, pain and satisfaction. The play “Tansen” explores this journey through the life of legendary Tansen. What was it that made him the great Tansen and what was his search till the end of his life?
Design, Direction and producer- Sudheer Rikhari
15 September :
About Meera Play : Meera is a legend. She is immortal. The word that strikes instantly when one thinks about Meera is “Devotion”. She is known for being the most ardent devotee of Krishna. But, do we know the other side of Meera? The side that was probably hidden to project her only as a saint.
Understanding Meera only through her poetry would be an injustice to her. “Meera the saint”, “Meera the woman” and “Meera the poet” are three completely different aspects of her life.
“Meera – Beyond Devotion” is an exploration of the rebellious and revolutionary facets of
Meerabai’s personality.
Concept, Choreography and Performance by Ridhima Bagga
Music by Susmit Sen and Sudheer Rikhari
Dramaturgy by Sudheer Rikhari

Hey! So you’re 13 years old, Gandhi Jayanti is coming up and your class teacher has just given you a lame assignment where you have to behave like Gandhiji for a week. I mean…there are more important things a teenager has to worry about, right? Like pimples, and glasses, and cool clothes, and some things that can’t even be shared…But suddenly there is a cataclysmic event and your life is turned upside down.
Paro Anand’s new novel #BeingGandhi is a blend of fun, teenage angst, teenage rebellion, and all-too-soon coming of age, with Mahatma Gandhi at the epicenter. The play is a dramatization of the to-be-released novel.
Chandrashekhar – oh, how he wishes his parents had given him a cooler name – is cute, quirky, naughty and a little eccentric. His inner voice and mind are so active that it needs a whole character, known as C-In, to express itself, while his outer, nerdy, pimply self is C-Out. Even as he has fun and games with his school-friends and his family, little does Chandra know that the Queen of Boringsthan – Class Teacher, Preeti Ma’am’s Gandhi Jayanti assignment will change his life forever. It will probably change your too.
Performed by young Akshara Theatre, New Delhi actors Sharan Makhijani and Arjun Goel, as well as Lubhanshi Jain, Vidya Parthasarathy and the Akshara Repertory, Being Gandhi the play coincides with the release of Being Gandhi the book.
Tickets: Rs. 250 for 15 years and below and Rs. 350 for above-15 years, available on Insider.in, BookMyShow, and Paytm.
