INT Aditya Birla Centre for Performing Arts presents BANDISH.
Four artists in a green room create a world of their stories and performances in a bid for one-upmanship.
A baithak wali bai and a nautanki bai take us into the world of pre-independence India and the younger singing stars talk about the current times and the contemporary evils and challenges of performing in current times. A harassed program officer tries to manage the mood swings and a wise old talent manager does the balancing act for all.
What emerges is a tapestry of musical vignettes that take us into the world of nostalgic music history artists and their relationship with their audiences. Rich musical compositions, exquisite light and design, beautiful costumes and sets draw us into a mesmerising world resounding with magic music and drama
