SUMMARY:Yadā
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge and wealth are complementary energies\, attained only through balance. \nYadā is a Kuchipudi duet that explores the playful\, deeply human exchange between the goddesses of knowledge and wealth. They are played as refreshingly relatable characters\, while the dance form itself creates a celestial ethos. Through expressive abhinaya\, rhythmic passages\, and light-hearted vachika\, the production celebrates contrast\, companionship\, and ultimate harmony. \nPlayful. Philosophical. Prismatic. \nSupported by:\n \n

SUMMARY:Raseedi Ticket
DESCRIPTION:Khushwant Singh once told Amrita Pritam that her entire life could fit on the back of a revenue stamp. She took that as a challenge and titled her autobiography Raseedi Ticket. \nThat was Amrita Pritam. Fiercely herself\, unapologetically free\, and at the same time the voice of a grieving nation. She lost her faith in God at eleven\, watching her mother die while she prayed. She wrote Ajj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu when Punjab was burning. She spent years writing one man’s name on every scrap of paper she could find. \nDirected by Savita Rani and performed in English by Shalom Sannutha\, this eponymous play draws from her autobiography\, stories\, and poetry\, moving through her childhood\, her loves\, and her losses. \nHer choice\, made again and again\, was to live as a free woman. \nCredits:\nProduction House: Nirdigantha\nDesign & Direction: Savita Rani\nScript: Sudha Adukala (Kannada Language)\nTranslated to English by: Shalom Sannutha\nActor: Shalom Sannutha\nMusic: Munna Mysore\nLight Design: H C Manjunath\nSets & Props: Khaju Gutthala \nIn collaboration with:\n \nSupported by:\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nationalism and Culture
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to remember Tagore today? \nNot as ritual\, but as reckoning. In a world marked by conflict\, his critique of nationalism feels urgent. He warned against power without conscience\, and progress without moral anchor. Like Gandhi’s “eye for an eye\,” Tagore spoke against forms of nationalism that erode the values they claim to protect. For him\, a nation drew strength from moral courage\, education\, and inner freedom. Its purpose was the welfare of humanity. \nMarking his birth anniversary\, this evening brings together Tagore scholars to reflect on his global outlook and humanist vision. The programme also weaves in music\, with Rabindra Sangeet and Baul compositions rooted in the Sahajiya tradition\, an inward path to spiritual realisation. Drawing from a shared cultural inheritance across Bengal\, these songs echo Tagore’s engagement with Baul philosophy and its search for liberation. \nThe evening concludes with an audience Q&A. \n

SUMMARY:Writing In English for the Indian Stage
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to write in English\, in India? \nIt is not a simple act. The language carries the weight of history\, the suspicion of elitism\, and the quiet insistence of something that has\, despite everything\, become entirely ours. Tagore knew this. He wrote in Bengali\, translated himself into English\, and in doing so redefined what it meant to be an author in modern India. \nIn tribute to Tagore on his 165th birth anniversary\, Vijay Padaki examines the challenges of writing and performing in English in India. Drawing on over half a century of experience in theatre and writing through Bangalore Little Theatre (BLT)\, Padaki brings the insider’s account of what it takes to develop a play; be it an adaptation\, translation\, or original script. The evening is illustrated with excerpts from the ten volumes of BLT’s 2020 publication of plays developed over decades\, including his own writing.  \nPadaki then joins Arundhati Raja\, co-founder of Jagriti Theatre\, in conversation. The evening concludes with an audience Q&A. \n

SUMMARY:This Shouldn’t Work
DESCRIPTION:Some questions begin as mistakes. Others refuse to remain so. \nThis unusual morning draws from the book Unruly: The Ig Nobel Prizes and the Science That Refuses to Behave to undress questions better left hidden. Questions like why don’t woodpeckers get headaches and who is behind this nonsense and at what point does a bad idea become an interesting one? \nThe Ig Nobel Prizes honour research that first makes people laugh\, and then makes them think: studies that often begin with questions that seem trivial\, absurd\, or oddly specific\, but reveal something deeper about how the world works. Unruly follows this peculiar corner of science through exclusive conversations with the researchers behind such work\, tracing how ideas take shape when allowed to wander off course. It is less a catalogue of science than an exploration of the human instinct to pick up an unlikely thread and see where it leads. \nMarc Abrahams\, the Ig Nobel world\, and the researchers behind it who ask questions most of us wouldn’t dare to take seriously\, and in doing so\, expand what our world can be.  \nThis Shouldn’t Work moves through a reading from the book that may or may not be recyclable\, a life-altering quiz\, a staged “interview” that blurs reality\, and a paper-plane contest with questionable ethics.  \nThe author of the book will be present. There is a non-zero chance she will be wearing a shark costume. There may be digressions. Not everything will resolve. Some things may go slightly off course. Somewhere in the middle of all this\, something in you shifts forever! \n

SUMMARY:Tides: Moving with Mother Grief
DESCRIPTION:Grief comes in waves: the only certainty is that it will ebb and flow again. \nA reflective\, art-based reflective circle for those who identify as women\, Tides invites you to sit with the loss of your mother. This includes cis women\, trans women\, and non-binary or gender expansive individuals\, who resonate with themes of mothers\, grief\, and navigating life after this loss. The aim is to bear witness to the grief in ourselves and in each other. \nParticipants will be guided through sharing circles and experiential activities using clay and beads. Not to eulogize the mother-daughter relationship\, but to make space for its greys and nuances. You are not expected to perform your loss\, or grieve the ‘right’ way. All of it is welcome here: the tenderness\, the anger\, the ambivalence\, the love.  \nThe waves are easier to withstand when we face them together.  \nIn collaboration with:\n \n

SUMMARY:Mother Is No God
DESCRIPTION:She was stubborn\, fearless before teachers and gods alike\, and completely convinced she was right about everything. \nShe usually was. \nVasudhendra wrote these essays after losing his mother. What started as an expression of grief turned out to carry so much more: a son slowly realising that the woman he’d spent years misreading was\, all along\, just a person. Flawed\, fierce\, and holding everything together anyway. \nI Love My Amma was originally written in Kannada\, the language of his home. It found readers in Tamil and Telugu. To mark the release of the English edition\, author Vasudhendra joins translator Narayan Shankaran in conversation with Harini Nagendra. They discuss the essays\, the North Karnataka childhood that shaped them\, and what it means to carry something this personal from one language into another. After the conversation\, they will take audience questions. \n

SUMMARY:Human Rights in an Age of Precarity
DESCRIPTION: 1948\, Paris in winter. The UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, against the backdrop of two bloody wars. The first time nations across the world agreed\, in writing\, on the fundamental rights owed to every human being.  \nEighty years later\, we have forgotten why the declaration was made in the first place. The rights enshrined in that document are no longer treated as fundamental. In a world shaped by profit-driven economies\, human value is increasingly measured by productivity and utility alone. The violation of human rights has become unremarkable\, treated as a practical feature of modern existence. \nThis panel brings together advocates across law\, academia and activism to examine the historical\, economic\, and psychological conditions that determine whether people experience human rights as inalienable and foundational. The conversation is as much diagnostic as it is restorative: an attempt to re-anchor rights in human dignity.  \nAfter the discussion\, there will be an open Q&A. \nIn collaboration with: \n \n

SUMMARY:The Story of Our Saris
DESCRIPTION:Your ajji’s sari is soft and pretty. But look closer!  \nThe motifs have meanings\, the prints have histories\, and the patterns have traveled further than you think. \nIn this session\, children learn to read the language of the sari\, build stories from its motifs\, and block print their own patterns onto cloth. They will leave with their own printed story\, and many reasons to look more closely at what we wear. \nAround the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins\, not with a ticket\, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion\, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet\, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task. \nEvery Sunday\, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return\, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books\, but by the weekly ritual of reading together. \nWe welcome your ideas and input. If you have suggestions for children’s events or activities that align with this vision\, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at library@bangaloreinternationalcentre.org \nSupported by:\n \n

SUMMARY:Public Realm in Urban India
DESCRIPTION:Charles Correa became one of India’s greatest architects partly because of toy trains. He played with tinplate rails that could be pulled apart each evening and laid out again the next morning in an entirely new formation. The same handful of pieces\, endlessly recombined. Films gave him a window into the complexities of urban life: the same street\, seen from a new angle\, meaning something different each time.  \nThe Nagari Film Competition carries his curiosity forward. An initiative of the Charles Correa Foundation\, Nagari is an annual short film competition developing 7-minute films about Indian cities. Spanning 24 cities\, it has grown into a living archive of Indian urban life.  \nWhen Indians talk about public space\, we do not envision parks and plazas\, but rather bustling street stalls and vendors parked under trees. The bus stations\, the train terminal\, the footpath. The public realm is a continuous negotiation between people and place\, changing with the hours\, adjusting to the seasons. Caste\, class\, and generations exist all at once. It is\, as one urbanist put it\, where a city is at its most democratic\, honest\, and energetic.  \nThe session opens with a talk by Vinay Sreenivasa on what happens when the city’s informal life loses its legal ground: the vendors\, the commons\, the pavement economies. Eleven films from the 2025 cohort of Nagari will be screened\, with English subtitles. The session will then open to the audience for questions.  \nFilm Schedule: \n5:00pm – 5:25pm: Talk by Vinay Sreenivasa \n5:25pm – 5:33pm: पकड़म पकड़ाई (Pakdam Pakdai)\nIn the bustling Sadar Market of Agra\, a group of children who sell balloons in the market take us along as they navigate between work and play\, hostility and joy\, commerce and friendship in the urban space that is designed to exclude them. In this vehicle-choked public realm\, we observe their routine of overcoming various barriers and intuitively carve spaces for themselves. \n5:33pm – 5:41pm: Pascal Premier League\nThis film is about the transformation of a street with a deep history of violence\, displacement\, and change into a space of joy and community. Set on Shahid Road in Jogeshwari East\, a neighbourhood once marked by the 1992–93 Bombay riots\, the film observes how a group of young boys reclaim this narrow lane by turning it into a cricket league of their own. What was once a site of fear and memory now becomes a field of play and laughter. \n5:41pm – 5:49pm: Mauj Ni Khoj (Seeking Fun)\nIn the small city of Bhuj\, two young Muslim women navigate societal and familial restrictions carving out fleeting moments of joy in the city. The film follows their friendship revealing how the public realm is both constraining and resilient\, where small defiant acts create space for mauj (fun).\n \n5:49pm – 5:57pm: How Much Space Does a Firefly Take?\nHow much space does one take? is a question Kabir asks as he performs his solo play about his trans-ness and belonging in a city. Interwoven with phone calls from different trans people recounting their experiences of navigating urban public space\, his play takes shape to become a testament of trans memories\, struggle\, and reclamation. The film questions how identity driving one’s experiences with public space. Who are the cities made for? Who are they accessible to? Why do queer people need to be invisible while traversing through the city? \n5:57pm – 6:05pm: Deewar Nāma (Chronicles of the Walls)\nA meditation on expression\, erasure\, and ownership\, this film is a reflective documentary that journeys through Mumbai’s walls: from the bustling lanes of Charni Road to the fading murals of Bandra. Through encounters with muralists\, commuters\, and anonymous street artists\, the film captures the fragile dance between creation and censorship\, memory and experience. \n6:05pm – 6:13pm: In Search of Humans\nSet in a restless Kolkata\, this film observes a city where digital and real worlds merge\, dissolving the boundaries of public space and human emotion. Through fragments of protests\, daily life\, and screens projecting chaos\, it reflects a time shaped by fear\, surveillance\, and disillusionment. Blending documentary\, AI-generated imagery\, Gaming graphics\, and personal archives\, the film reveals how people move within self-made boxes. \n6:13pm – 6:21pm: Hissa\nThe story of two migrant barber brothers who have spent their lives cutting hair on the streets of Mumbai’s Dhobi Talao. Their small setup survives on the edge of legality as their chairs and mirrors spill onto the road. Though they come from the same family of barbers\, their dreams divide them. The younger wants to return home once his son begins earning\, while the elder believes the city has become his home. This film is a reflection on what it means to belong\, to survive\, and to choose one’s place in a restless city. \n6:21pm – 6:29pm: Manaveeyam\nStreet cultures across the world can shape socially conscious societies. This documentary asks whether public space development is merely an infrastructure upgrade or a catalyst for cultural evolution. Manaveeyam Veedhi\, once informally reclaimed by street collectives\, was renovated in 2023 as a cultural corridor under Kerala’s Smart City Project\, ensuring 24/7 public access. The film explores its spirit through stories of inclusion and accessibility\, following a young man who worked as a juice maker at Manaveeyam to later became a singer through music collectives\, and a non-binary lesbian who shares their story of how the space gave them the confidence to acknowledge their identity. \n6:29pm – 6:37pm: ফুল গাড়ি (Scent of Nocturnal Flowers)\nExplore a small patch of land beside Barasat station that transforms each night from a bustling auto stand into a flower market. As the last autos leave\, flower vendors arrive\, setting up makeshift shelters\, dozing under the open sky\, and waiting for the first Bongaon Local\, the train they call Phool Gari to begin their trade. As metro construction slowly encroaches\, swallowing the space they call their own\, the film observes their quiet rhythms\, the precarious balance between labour and survival\, and the fleeting moments of community that emerge in the margins. \n6:37pm – 6:45pm: महाद्वार (Mahadwar – The Great Corridor)\nA journey through the fading rhythms of Mahadwar Road — a historic street in Kolhapur that once pulsed with trade\, devotion\, and daily life. As large-scale redevelopment plans surround the Mahalaxmi Temple\, the film reflects on what is lost when progress erases memory. Through nostalgic visuals\, intimate sounds\, and a deeply personal voiceover\, the director revisits the street of her childhood to understand its transformation. \n6:45pm – 6:53pm: Through The Dappled Light\nThrough the play of dappled light\, the film reflects on the lives of Chandigarh’s informal workers: visible yet overlooked\, ever-present yet structurally invisible. Occupying the shade without tenancy or title\, they operate under intermittent licenses issues post the 2014 Street Vendor Survey. Through the stories of a barber\, a chaiwala\, a kelewala and labourers\, the film explores how their presence\, among the trees of Chandigarh\, offer affordable services and help generate a social public realm for the lower-income classes. \n6:53pm – 7:00pm: Audience Q&A with Vinay Sreenivasa \nIn collaboration with: \n          \n  \n

SUMMARY:Knockers
DESCRIPTION:Across the country\, volunteers are knitting and crocheting prosthetic breasts for women who’ve had mastectomies. Many of them are survivors themselves. Through the act of creation\, they restore something that surgery cannot: dignity\, agency\, a sense of self. Knockers carries the same spirit. \nIntimate. Unapologetic. Defiant. \nThis one-person performance is built from five monologues. A model who built her life around her body. A teacher who meets her diagnosis with Shakespeare. A survivor preparing for her first intimate encounter after surgery. A non-binary individual navigating a medical system that can’t see them. An immigrant carrying cultural silence in two languages. Together\, their stories weave a tapestry of grief\, rage\, humour\, resistance\, and radical self-definition. \nWhen the body changes\, who decides what remains sacred? \nThe performance will be followed by a Q&A. \n

SUMMARY:Yugant
DESCRIPTION:A decade ago\, the Deshpande family had a home. Now all that remains is a ruin. \nThe walls are torn and the sun is unrelenting. Vultures circle. Water runs scarce. The once-formidable stone mansion of Dharangaon has become a shadow of itself\, just as the family that built it. Some have died\, others have left. Only three remain.  \nWhen cousin Abhay returns from the cold of Sweden\, he only finds dust. Four people in a dying landscape\, asking the questions that comfort and distance had kept at bay: What do we owe the places that made us? What do we leave behind for our children? And when everything has already been lost\, what is there left to mourn? \nYugant\, performed in Hindi\, is the final part of Mahesh Elkunchwar’s celebrated Wada Chirebandi trilogy: the culmination of a family saga that has tracked one household across decades of quiet unravelling.  \nThe session will be followed by a Q&A. \nSupported by: \n \n
