"THREE WOMEN" MUSICAL THEATRE PREMIERE | |
Sunday, 2nd February, 2014 | 8 pm | Horniman Circle Gardens, Fort, Mumbai
“Three Women”, a musical theatre debut, is a modern response to Rabindranath Tagore’s 19th century Bengali Renaissance literature. The performance is crafted on the evolution of two female protagonists from Tagore’s novellas, Bimala from “The Home and the World” and Charu from “The Broken Nest”, seen from the perspective of Kadambari Devi, Tagore’s sister in law and lifetime muse. In Tagore’s original works, the female protagonists instigate change from their patriarchal setting towards their progressive aspirations, but the sustainability of their new-found freedoms remains unanswered. “Three Women” illustrates the continuing relevance of Tagore’s work as women today negotiate similar issues of identity and empowerment in the public domain. The production is written and directed by Isheeta Ganguly, and its premiere performance will feature actors Dilnaz Irani, Leeza Mangaldas and Renu Roy with music composed and performed by Isheeta Ganguly.
