BALI By Adhishakti Theatre Arts From Pondicherry...A Retelling Of The Myth... August 22, 2019 6:30:56 PM IST MTG editorial BALI , written and directed by Nimmy Raphel is a well received production that is based on an episode from the Ramayana. The play is a retelling of the various events that lead up to the battle between Bali, the ruler of Kishkindha and Ram, the King of Ayodhya and eventually, the death of Bali. Here, the writer has tried to explore the notion of right or wrong through its various characters, while steering clear of any subjective influences. The play weaves multiple stories through the point of views of Bali, Tara, Sugreeva, Angadha, Rama and Ravana and talks about how each of them make decisions and take actions based on the ethics that define their lives. Writer-Director Nimmy Raphel says: "Adishakti's BALI is a meditation on a crucial and intriguing moment in the Ramayana. The ethical questions surrounding Bali's death, and the perspectives of those involved and effected by it, are the central provocation of this play." Nimmy Raphel also adds that "Each retelling offers the opportunity to comment on society in the present. Sometimes the world of myth and literature shapes the world of real life politics in India, justifying and projecting competing visions for the future." Dates: 24th & 25th August 2019 Time: 6 pm & 9 pm on both days (four shows in all). Venue: Prithvi Theatre, Juhu, Vile Parle (W). Ticket price: Rs 500. *Mumbai Theatre Guide takes no responsibility for change in schedule. read / post your comments    More on Theatre Update - International Radio Playwriting Competition 2020 by BBC and British Council (new) - Arun Kakade No More... - Well-Known Casting Director Mukesh Chhabra Announces ''Khidkiyaan - Just Act'' Theatre Festival... - Aarambh Mumbai Presents US AND THEM : A Discussion On Nationalism and Patriotism... - 'My Name Is Khan"...Theatre Artiste Yash Khan Targeted By Pune Police... - State Surveillance In Theatre...Could It Be Your Play Next? - Uttar Pradesh State Government's Sangeet Natak Academy Confers Award On Theatre Veteran Salim Arif... - AGP World Presents GOOD MOURNING!...Deven Khote's Directorial Debut On Stage... - Sultan Padamsee Award Winning Play WATCHING YOU At Literature Live! - BALI By Adhishakti Theatre Arts From Pondicherry...A Retelling Of The Myth... - "Sanhita Manch": A Festival By Being Association...
