As the theatre group Aarambh enters its 15th year, a festival called Rangmanch ka Rang-Punch has been organised from 12-17 March at Prithvi Theatre.
According to their note, "Leading the charge in this Hindi original writing revolution is none other than the powerhouse duo, Purva Naresh and Asmit Pathare. Purva, the maestro behind some of Aarambh's most captivating tales, beams with pride as she declares, "Our mission is simple yet profound: to bring stories not just from the bustling metropolises but also from the very heart and soul of India. We want our audiences to see a reflection of our country, its people, and its myriad experiences on stage. Our characters? Oh, they're as real as it gets – relatable, believable, and utterly lovable. With Aarambh, we're not just staging a production; we're crafting an immersive journey through the essence of our homeland. Our stories are woke, contextual, and relevant with a vibrant streak. We have a knack for presenting plays that delve into uncomfortable topics with a comforting approach, making difficult subjects more approachable."
Along with some of Aarambh's plays, there are masterclasses by Niranjan Iyengar and Irshad Kamil on songwriting, Sanjay Rajoura on stand-up, Yashaswi Mishra on writing an engaging screenplay, Kathak by virtuoso Guru Rani Khanum, a storytelling workshop for kids by Lovleen Mishra and a poetry masterclass by Naresh Saxena.
