What is his hunger? Who feeds it? What are the choices available to a hero? Wh at is the fate of a strong man in contemporary times? These are some of th e questions around which the key narrative of the play evolves. What is hi s relevance to contemporary life? Would his version of masculinity be acce ptable in today’s world?\nIf Bhima were to live today\, who would he be — a loyal middle-management warrior who is the engine of the company but never its CEO? A family man who defines himself only in terms of roles — the breadwinner\, the husband\, the son — who will do anything for h is family? Or does he exist as an individual beyond these roles? Does soci ety look after its Bhimas\, or is it only Arjuna we want?\nContrasting the Koodiyattam form with contemporary dialogue and commentary\, using music and poetry as interventions\, Bhima re-examines a version of masculinity and its interaction with modernity.\nBhima won the Best Innovative Sound Design award for Sachin Gurjale at the 2017 Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META).\nFor enquiries please contact 50yearsofinlaks@gmail.com GEO:12.98348;77.61102 LOCATION:Sabha\, 262\, Kamaraj Road\, Shivaji Nagar\, Bengaluru\, India STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Bhima TRANSP:TRANSPARENT URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.sabhablr.in/event-details/bhima CATEGORIES:SABHA,CBD,THEATER,URBANAUT,Festival,Art & culture,BUDGET X-BLR-TYPE:TheaterEvent END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261026T132702Z UID:in.sabhablr.physical-theatre-its-possibilities-and-limits-1@blr.today DTSTART:20261122T193000 DTEND:20261122T210000 CLASS:PUBLIC COLOR:lightskyblue DESCRIPTION:Physical Theatre: Its Possibilities and Limits\nA Conversation with Tushar Pandey\, Ashwath Bhatt and Vivek Vijayakumaran\nModerated by A nmol Vellani\nPhysical theatre communicates primarily\, though not solely\ , through the language of gestures\, facial expressions and movement. The exception is mime\, which is non-verbal by definition.\nIn this session\, three theatre artists will speak about what attracted them to physical the atre and describe the nature of their involvement in the teaching and prac tice of this stylised form of performance. As their work as directors and actors has also extended beyond physical theatre\, they will reflect on th e reasons for their divergent artistic choices.\nPhysical theatre has many strengths. Most notably\, it can overcome language barriers\, express wha t words cannot\, connect with audiences at a visceral level\, harness the ideas and creativity of the whole group\, and rely on minimalist scenograp hy. But equally\, it is constrained by the very characteristics that set i t apart from other theatre styles. This session will conclude with a discu ssion on the limits of physical theatre and the creative strategies that c an prevent style from overshadowing substance.\nFor enquiries please conta ct: 50yearsofinlaks@gmail.com GEO:12.98348;77.61102 LOCATION:Sabha\, 262\, Kamaraj Road\, Shivaji Nagar\, Bengaluru\, India STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Physical Theatre: Its Possibilities and Limits - A Conversation wit h Tushar Pandey\, Ashwath Bhatt and Vivek Vijayakumaran TRANSP:TRANSPARENT URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.sabhablr.in/event-details/physical-theatre-its-po ssibilities-and-limits-1 CATEGORIES:SABHA,CBD,URBANAUT,Festival,Art & culture,FREE X-BLR-TYPE:TheaterEvent END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261026T132702Z UID:in.sabhablr.red-nose-clowning.20261123t1000@blr.today DTSTART:20261123T100000 DTEND:20261123T150000 CLASS:PUBLIC COLOR:gold DESCRIPTION:Red Nose Clowning\nA Workshop by Ashwath Bhatt\nThe clown often lands in a place where urgency prevails and dilemma takes over\, pressure turns into perseverance and a never-say-die attitude emerges.
