Dhawala Bheeshana is selected to perform at the 15th Bharat Rang Mahotsav in next year. The play will be staged at the main festival in New Delhi as well as at the parallel festival in Jaipur. The show in Delhi will be held on 11th January 2013 at the Abhimanch Theatre. The show in Jaipur will be held on 13th January 2013 at the Rabhindramanch Theatre.
Bharat Rang Mahotsav was established a decade ago by the National School of Drama to stimulate the growth and development of theatre across the country. Originally a national festival showcasing the work of the most creative theatre workers in India, it has evolved to international scope, hosting theatre companies from around the world, and is now the largest theatre festival of Asia.
A series of wrap around programs around the festival include - sight specific, installation based, music and dance theatre projects and performances, a lecture, interactive sessions with the directors, a seminar on " Temporal spaces, corporeality and embodiment in Tagore's theatrical works" and five photographic exhibitions.
Bharat Rang Mahotsav is accompanied by a shorter festival in a second city, with selections from the main repertoire, extending the scope of the Mahotsav and sharing its fare with theatre lovers outside Delhi. The second festival has to date been held in Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mumbai, Lucknow, Bhopal, Chennai and Amritsar. This year it travels to Jaipur, Rajasthan.
This is the second time that a play directed by Mr. Dharamasiri Bandaranayake will be performed at this festival.
