Mark your calenders now for MOITREE - the Bangla theatre festival in
Bengaluroo ...
- six plays

- ... and ofcourse, the inevitable Bengali adda!!!
Moitree is the festival of friendship. We have arranged for the cream of Bangla theatre to visit Bengaluroo, which is now home to over a lakh of Bengalis. We aim to re-create the vibrant cultural ambience of Bengal that we miss away from home, and to create a platform where the two cultures, that of Bengaluroo and Kolkata can interact. This would be a first-of-it's kind experience for the city. The location and schedule for the festival are given below:
Venue: Ranga Shankara (location map)

Apart from the shows, there will be an array of off-stage events from 4 to 6:30 p.m. These shows will consist of karnatic music, bangla folk and modern songs, street play, poetry, and most importantly "theatre-er aaddaa", an informal chat session on theater with eminent theater personalities participating in this festival. As a whole it will be a fun-filled package throughout both days! :)

mukhOsh is a forum where scientists give expressions to their passion for
theatre.
Moitree is a friendship that attempts to provide a platform for the
interaction between the theatre enthusiasts of Bengaluroo and Kolkata.
We would be bringing out a booklet on the occasion of Moitree, that would reflect the unification of the two cultures, and of the sciences with the performing arts. Eminent theatre personalities as well as scientists would be contributing articles in both Bangla and English for this booklet, that would surely be a reader's delight."
The booklet would be priced at Rs.20/- per copy. Book your copy now!
