Event Details

So much about ‘going to the theatre’ is indeed that—soaking in the energy that the space exudes. It is this tactile, collective experience of witnessing a live performance that has been missed sorely during the lockdown and now that we are out of it, a guided tour of the NCPA theatres and libraries has been organised for young theatre lovers who will visit the NCPA during the festival. Students from colleges across Mumbai will be given a tour of our sprawling premises that boast five theatres, an art gallery, a reference library with a prized collection of books on Marathi theatre, and scripts and recordings of seminal plays, and music libraries with an unmatched collection of records, LPs, cassettes, CDs and books on Western classical music as well as other styles of music. In the reference library, a Marathi theatre professional will take visitors through forms of theatre, their evolution and recent trends as well as discuss distinguished Marathi theatre artistes and production houses. Nayan Kale, General Manager – Technical at the NCPA, who knows every little detail about the unique acoustics of our theatres, has enabled flawless execution of thousands of productions on our stages and is full of fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, will conduct the tour.
