The Dragons are Back!! After 25 Shows and 3 Cities, they are back once more. Do not miss.
Remember Remember is a set of 6 original stories imagined and written as Urban Folktales. Our city spaces suddenly seem devoid of stories. Maybe we don’t have the time for stories, maybe we’d notice the stories if someone would convert them into Twitter memes for us. Or maybe, we don’t believe that cities can hide fairytales in plain sight. Remember Remember explores what it means to hold on to our urban stories and fairytales. And sometimes to let them go.
Come watch this play for the magical journey with Dragons, Apps that let users time travel, helping a girl find her lost stories and more.

‘Do Kaudi Ka Khel’– a Hindi comedy musical | 23rd Feb, 4:30pm-7pm
‘Do Kaudi ka Khel’ is a new comedy musical performed in Nautanki style, a first of its kind in Bangalore, to be premiering on 23rd February 2019.
The play is a satire with universal appeal as it highlights the degradation of values. It revolves around certain characters that entertain the audience while giving an important message against corruption, the burning problem facing the world, particularly in developing countries like India.
As part of this play, the artists have undergone training for Folk Singing and Jharkhand based classical dance, Chhau under the able guidance of Padma Shri Gopal Prasad Dubey.
Synopsis
‘Do Kaudi ka Khel’ is a Hindustani adaptation of German playwright Bertolt Brecht’s popular play ‘The Threepenny Opera’ by Parimal Dutta. It bares the rise of the corrupt in different realms through unethical means. ‘The Threepenny Opera’ in turn was originally based on John Gay’s ‘Beggar’s Opera’. Dutta had made certain aberrations to structure the play in present day’s Indian milieu.
The play is a satire with universal appeal as it highlights the degradation of values.
To make the play more relevant for illustrating the theme, the plot has been woven around diverse characters like beggars’ gang, dacoits and police. The beggars get tired of begging and resolve to opt for vocations like politics. While many become political leaders and claim old association with martyrs like Ram Prasad Bismil, Bhagat Singh, others prefer to be modern dacoits who commit crimes in cities and not in ghats or jungle.
