Mapping Mumbai’s Alternative Performance Spaces

The Theatre Times: This week’s Girish Karnad tribute at Veda Factory — Hayavadana, reimagined by eight young directors — showed that all is well, theatre-wise, in the Aram Nagar arts microcosm that is constantly in a stage of flux. The Company Theatre presentation featured a frenetic burst of joie de vivre, courtesy its actors, and provided much gravitas to Veda’s wall-to-wall primary colors ethos. It’s nonetheless a refreshingly non-exclusive accessible space where calendars fill up quickly, and revivals of theatre classics perhaps flow too easily – which might indicate that amateur groups are getting braver with the plays they take on.
