THEATRE Nagamandala (Directed by Amal Allana; Starring Manohar Singh, Mona Chawla; Kamani Auditorium, Delhi; September 4-6) Nagamandala is vintage Girish Karnad, a play that explores Indian folklore in a modern context. It deals with a woman's subconscious desires, and a king cobra that assumes the form of her unfaithful husband. Adding zest to this acclaimed work will be an impeccable cast. Allana's lavish production magically bridges the gap between myth and reality. Veils As violence against women continues to haunt Indian cities, Veils examines the most heinous crime of all -- rape. The play adapts real-life cases to focus on issues such as molestation of minors, marital rape, gangrape, custodial rape and so on. A disturbing production by a group of very committed people. MUSIC The best of santana is the music that made this band -- and this man -- a legend. The album pulsates with the sounds of Carlos Santana's guitar, the magic of Gregg Rolie on the organ, and the beat of the conga drum. Take your pick from Black magic woman and Bella, Jingo and Evil ways, Soul sacrifice and Gypsy queen. Seventeen memorable numbers that make this, without a doubt, a collector's item. ODD ENDS Cinemaya--Tenth Anniversary Celebrations The acclaimed Asian film quarterly completes a decade in the business. To celebrate, you could treat yourself to a festival of Asian films at the India International Centre, attend a concert of jazz, Punjabi folk and Sufi music at the India Habitat Centre, or go to the same place for a Sonal Mansingh production specially created for the occasion. |
