JUNOON: A STAGE FOR THEATRE Sanjna Kapoor - former Director of Prithvi Theatre, Mumbai - co-founded Junoon last year. Junoon is driven by a single point belief – the live performing arts must be a part of our everyday lives in India. In order to facilitate this, Junoon is committed to creating multiple platforms that invite people to experience, repeatedly, the magic of the arts. Recently, Junoon presented 'Arts at Play', a season of experiences with theatre for schoolchildren in Mumbai which involved educational institutions from across the city. Junoon plans to expand this programme across India, in addition to several other exciting projects including touring national and international theatre pieces. Ranan is proud to be Junoon's partner in Calcutta.  In this adda, Sanjna Kapoor will talk about Junoon and all their dreams, and touch on plans and possibilities for bringing quality performance experiences to Calcutta. All are welcome. We apologise for limited seating and lack of parking in the venue. Please call 9831256730 or 9830015510 for any further details. You can also email us at rananindia@gmail.com

Ujle Safed Kabootar - poems for Palestine

Ujle Safed Kabootar

a dramatized poetry reading in Hindustani

Presented by Jana Natya Manch, Delhi

Friday, 9 November, 7pm

at the Ranan Workspace

(8 Sultan Alam Road, Calcutta - 33)

A reading performance of poems for Palestine.

Palestine, the land that nurtured three great religions, a land ravaged by a brutal occupation and seemingly perpetual war, the land of a heroic people. The reading starts with a song on Palestine by Faiz Ahmed Faiz and a poem by the Somalian poet Safi Abdi. The centrepiece of the reading is the poem 'Under Siege' by Palestine's best-known poet, Mahmoud Darwish, who died last year. This is a deeply m

oving, sometimes philosophical, sometimes trenchant, poem that reasserts the basic human values of love, understanding, dignity and self-respect. The reading concludes with excerpts from Nizar Qabbani, Syria's greatest poet. The reading is accompanied by a visual essay by filmmaker and designer Sherna Dastur.

The presentation is of 45 minutes duration, and will be followed by a discussion with the audience

Jana Natya Manch is a Delhi-based group, best known for its political theatre.

The dancers will discuss their routes into contemporary dance, and what drives them to work in the arts; how to train the body and the mind to work as a repertory dancer, and how they balance the artist/athlete divide. 

Travelling abroad as social ambassadors – how important is this to the dancer, and how is this role perceived by audiences, if at all?

All are welcome. We apologise for limited seating, and absence of parking in the premises.
