SUMMARY:Chekhov’s Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:An evening to sit with difficult questions\, contend with differing perspectives\, and open new avenues of thought. \nIn 2008\, City of Gardens was brought to the stage: a play that turned Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard into an allegory for Bangalore. Once celebrated as the Garden City of India\, its rapid transformation has reshaped identities and coloured memories. The lush\, unhurried past constantly contends with the relentless pace of modern urban life. \nNearly two decades later\, there is a lot left to say. \nThis panel discussion brings together Abhishek Majumdar and Anuja Ghosalkar\, original cast members\, moderated by Saima Dawood. Together\, they will revisit what the play meant then and investigate what it means now\, returning to an allegory made at the apex of neoliberal globalisation\, and asking whether its prescience has only deepened with time. \nWhat have the shifting political economies meant for the city’s environment? What do the imperatives of development do to competing nostalgias\, and to the postcolonial textures that a garden city carries in its name? \n  \n
