Tracing fragments of a shattered muse
Hindi & Bangla Play with English subtitles
An NCPA Presentation in collaboration with Paradigm Shift Arts
Rabindranath Tagore pens his final song for his muse, his dear friend, Kadambari Devi. Come, let’s listen together.
Step into the world of Kadambari, a poignant theatrical exploration of the life and legacy of Kadambari Devi—Tagore’s confidante and sister-in-law. Beyond the whispers of scandal and sorrow, this play pieces together the fragments of her existence, questioning how history remembers Kadambari, who inspired greatness but remained in the shadows. Blending poetic storytelling with evocative performances, Kadambari unearths the unspoken, inviting audiences to witness a story of love, longing and loss. The play takes place on the day when
mrityu has come to take away both Kadambari and Rabi. As they reminisce about their lives together and apart and as memories unfold, so does a final conversation between the living and the departed, between longing and eternity. A final song lingers in the air.
