For the times we live in

Anirban Bhattacharya

The popular 9-member Bengali musical group HooliGaanIsm, led by actor-director Anirban Bhattacharya has already created a lot of buzz with the kind of music they make and the themes they choose to write upon, with the soundscape being a cultural melting pot. Catch them live at Kala Mandir auditorium on Sunday, November 23, at 6.30 pm. Tickets available online.

Befitting tribute

Sujan Mukhopadhyay

Chetana's upcoming show Meghe Dhaka Ghatak, as a part of the Natyotshab celebrating the theatre group's 53rd anniversary, pays a fitting tribute to the rebellious creator of Indian cinema, Ritwik Ghatak. Unlike the usual portrayal of Ghatak as a unwavering and fearless figure, this adaptation, directed by Sujan Mukhopadhyay and acted by Sujan, Nibedita Mukhopadhyay and others, delicately explores his early years as a romantic and passionate lover of art. On November 23, 5 pm, at Academy of Fine Arts.
