Rumination of An Unfettered Mind, solo show by Laxmi Gupta
Entry : Free
Area : Mandi House Area
Event Description : Rumination of An Unfettered Mind, solo show by Laxmi Gupta.
This series represents a transcendence of our perceived reality, a freedom from our self inflicted shackles. Given any circumstance, our minds can wander, roam the earth, venture into untraversed realms and even dance with the Gods.These works in mixed media on paper have a predominance of pen and ink. The pen allows me a sense of control whereas the free flowing nature of the inks affords a life of its own, a balance of yin and yang. I am excited to invite you to view the series.

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.
