Jaipur, 21 April: After a long hiatus of two and a half years due to the pandemic, the Pink City is ready to celebrate once again. Taramani Foundation in collaboration with Jawahar Kala Kendra (JKK) is organising 'Jaipur Theatre Fest 2022' where Jaipurites will unite in full spirit to witness some of the best plays from across the country. The first edition, i.e., the summer edition of the festival will be held from 25 to 29 April at JKK.
The Pink City has long kept itself under restraint and some festive vividness is overdue. Many families have been put through pain and loss during the hard times of the pandemic. It is time to smile and rejoice, as most people are fully vaccinated.
'Sangeet Bari', by Kali Billi Production, Mumbai, will mark the beginning of Jaipur Theatre Fest. It is a theatre show sharing the stories of traditional Lavani artists and the magic of their performance. Sangeet Bari is a crossover performance like no other, having transcended barriers of class, language, gender and cultural sensibilities over a run of more than 100 shows across Maharashtra and beyond.
Another brilliant show to be staged on 25 April is 'Mughal Bachha', performed by Mahmood Ali, a senior theatre artiste from Jaipur. The story is about how the wives of powerful rulers have to bear the burden of their husbands’ arrogance and failure.
On the Festival's second day, Ulka Puri from Mumbai shall present her play 'Cast of All Shame' punctuated with soulful poetry and stories. It will be an entertaining, engaging and empowering experience for everyone.
The second performance on 26 April will be of theatre stalwart, Alok Chatterjee. Titled 'Aisa Hi Hota Hai', the play directed by Alok Chatterjee, is based on his journey in the world of theatre.
