The National School of Drama (NSD) in collaboration with the State Culture Department and the Sangeet Natak Akademi would bring India’s biggest theatre festival, Bharat Rang Mahotsav to the city for the first time from February 7.
In order to increase the connection with communities and audiences, the NSD started organizing the festival in other States also.
The performances would include Byaghrarohan (Odia), The Comedy of Harlequin and Pulcinella in Venezia (Italian), Gabarghichor (Hindi) and many more.
The Mahotsav has been designed with the theme of ‘Rediscover the Magic of Theatre.’
“This is a platform on which we can really rediscover the magic of theatre by experience theatre and connect with this wonderful medium,” said NSD Director Prof Waman Kendre.
It is also one of the rare opportunities for artists and audience in Bhubaneswar to see global theatre expressions at one place, he added.
The 18th edition of the Mahotsav would conclude on February 12.
