NCPA Presents Stories in a Song
MUMBAI: A Musical Collage of Theatre, Literature and History in English-Hindi (2 acts-120 mins), Tata Theatre - Sunday, 4th – 7.00 pm
Accounts of music-making in India, and stories of the struggles and hardships faced by musicians, both real and imaginary, lay the foundation for a collage of dramatised episodes that blend theatre, music and literature. Several forms of theatre in India make abundant use of music, but Stories in a Song takes the help of theatre to tell stories of musical forms such as kajri, thumri, dadra, khayal, remixes and more.
