Instead of telling wel l-known ghost stories\, we invite interested audience members to sign up a s storytellers and to tell the story that’s been haunting them (à la “Are You Afraid of the Dark\,” for any 90s TV fans). We believe that s tories of the ghostly and supernatural speak to the inherent drama of our lives\, and to the challenges of the societies in which we live. To that e nd\, we hope to bring together a variety of people to tell their own ghost stories or stories of people they know\, and thus\, to reveal something f rightening\, truthful\, and even beautiful about the world we inhabit.

The Fo rt though today reduced to a mere fraction of its original expanse—less than 5%—remains one of the most significant remnants of the city’s pre -colonial past. This heritage walk invites you to step into the vestiges o f a fort that once bore witness to battles transitions of power architectu ral ingenuity and political resilience.The fort began as a modest mud stru cture before being fortified with stone during Hyder Ali’s rule and late r expanded under his son Tipu Sultan. These walls though weathered by time preserve within them the layered narratives of a growing urban center and the complexities of South Indian resistance to British expansion.A highli ght of the walk is the iconic Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace a rare example of Indo-Islamic architecture with its intricate wooden pillars frescoes a nd elegant symmetry. Once the seat of royal administration and leisure the palace offers insights not only into architectural aesthetics but also in to the socio-political life of the Sultanate in the 18th century.As we nav igate the narrow lanes of Old Bengaluru one encounters a little-known but historically important site: a surviving armoury tucked into the urban spr awl and forgotten by modern maps. Used during Tipu’s reign this structur e is a physical testament to the city’s martial past and the strategic i mportance of Bangalore in Mysore’s military planning.A focal point of th is walk is the Battle of Bangalore (1791) a critical campaign during the T hird Anglo-Mysore War. The battle pitted the British East India Company ag ainst Tipu Sultan’s forces and highlighted not only the military prowess of the Sultanate but also broader geopolitical shifts—especially the fa llout of British actions in other global theatres such as in the American Revolutionary War.It is particularly notable that the Mysorean rockets use d innovatively during this time caught the attention of British military o bservers. Some of these designs later found their way into documentation t hat would influence the development of European—and even American—mili tary technology. Legend holds that they partly inspired Francis Scott Key ’s reference to "the rockets' red glare" in the Star-Spangled Banner.Fin ally the walk concludes with a return to the present—by way of South Ind ian culinary tradition offering participants a curated local snack and a c up of filter coffee. A reminder that history does not only reside in books or ruins—it lives on in tastes traditions and memories.This walking tou r is not just about stones and structures. It is a curated window into Ben galuru’s transformation—from fortified stronghold and seat of regional power to colonial outpost and finally to modern metropolis. In walking it s paths we do not merely observe history\; we retrace it.Note : "This walk is led by a Bengaluru native and professional architect who has lived and studied in the vicinity of the fort for over three decades. His deep-root ed connection to the area combined with his architectural expertise gives him an intimate knowledge of not just every corner of the fort but also th e rich history that surrounds it."

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.

Using a non-linear theatrical structure\ , it connects Galileo’s struggle to contemporary realities.The play unfo lds at night inside a museum\, where a group arrives to demolish its colle ction of cultural and collective living memories and objects. Among the ar tefacts\, they discover a telescope\, which becomes the point of departure for the story of Galileo — his discoveries\, struggles\, confinement an d unceasing search for truth. As the night progresses\, Galileo’s time a nd the present time begin to unfold simultaneously\, revealing parallels b etween social realities in two different historical moments.The members of the demolition group are themselves caught between disillusionment\, viol ence and self-deception. Their encounter with the museum and with Galileo stirs their conscience\, and while one group remains adamant\, the other b egins to question its reasons for wanting to destroy the museum. An intern al conflict begins\, between the path they’ve chosen\, to raze the museu m for their pride\, and the path their conscience wants to guide them towa rds. Experimental music anchors the play in the present moment\, voicing t he characters' contradictions and a call to act for co-existence.The perfo rmance draws on Brecht’s distancing effect alongside character expressio n\, an actor-development process emerging from Rajkumar Rajak’s research .CastGalileo Galilei: Ramratan GugaliaAndrea and Roman Pope: Mohit Vaishna vVihan and Barberini (Narrator): Adnan KhanYoginder and Hitler: Aftab Noor Vijay and Sipahi: Ashish DhapBalveer and Roman Sanyasi: Chitaranjan NamaDh yan and Astronomer: Karan Kumar and Shubham MeghwanshiBruno and Ludovico: Aman TaseraBruno’s Mother and Hamid’s Mother: Raina Raha RajakPeople o f Rome and Chorus: Rajwanti Tamoli\, Vijaylaxmi Tasera\, Niana Raha\, Ayus h KesarwaniCrewDirector: Rajkumar RajakMusic Design and Composition: Garvi t GidwaniMusic Assistants: Aman Tasera\, Chitaranjan Nama and Harmendra Sa rtaajLighting Design and Operation: Ravi Kumar Pathak and Harmendra Sartaa jCostume Design: Shubham Meghwanshi\, Raina Raha Rajak and Aftab NoorProps Design: Firoz AlamProduction Managers: Raina Raha and MohitProduction Sup ervision: Ajeet BahadurProduced by: Ex-tra An Organisation and Community T heatre TonkAbout the ArtistsRajkumar RajakRajkumar Rajak is a theatre arti st whose practice connects theatre with education and with communities. Hi s artistic journey has been shaped by a persistent curiosity about the rel ationship between the actor’s body\, mind and emotions\, their socialisa tion\, and how these shape their character and performance. Much of his th eatre practice has grown through working with non-actors from rural and sm all-town communities who\, through sustained engagement in his productions \, have evolved as actors and\, in some cases\, developed their own conten t and language of theatre.Rajkumar has been finding his own pathways for a ctor development through experimental rehearsal processes. His practice-ba sed research\, Actorgy\, explores the actor as a social-historical body an d the development of character through relationships\, interaction and per formance. His directorial work includes Suraj Ka Satwaan Ghoda\, Hawalaat\ , Bhukhwasi Bhand and The Death of Galileo.He worked with the Azim Premji Foundation as a teacher educator for twelve years\, and designed its Arts Education Internship. He has also received a new performance grant from th e India Foundation for the Arts (2009-10)\, and the Ministry of Culture’ s Junior Research Fellowship 2014.Ramratan GugaliaRamratan Gugulia has bee n engaged in theatre for the past 10 years as an actor\, lyricist and dire ctor. He began his journey with Eklavya\, directed by Rajkumar Rajak\, whe re he played Dronacharya and also wrote the lyrics. He has since performed a range of roles in Bade Bhai Sahab\, Jyoti\, Nirantar Eklavya\, Tonk Jun ction\, Visarjan and Dakghar\, and he has taken part in leading theatre fe stivals such as Jairangam and Bharat Rang Mahotsav. As a director\, he has adapted and staged Rabindranath Tagore’s story Tota. Every summer vacat ion\, he volunteers as a facilitator in children’s theatre workshops run by Community Theatre Tonk. He believes that theatre is a space where idea s can be reflected on and practised until they become part of everyday lif e\, rather than remaining as talk of what “should be done”. A governme nt school teacher by profession\, he teaches language to children. In The Death of Galileo\, he plays the central role of Galileo Galilei.Karan Kuma rKaran Kumar\, from Prayagraj\, Uttar Pradesh\, is an art teacher\, traine r and theatre artist who has been learning and growing as an actor for fiv e years. In The Death of Galileo\, he plays Dhyan\, a 22-year-old youth. T he play has given him a sharper historical lens. It shows how human societ y has repeatedly silenced truth and how religious authority has always pla ced itself above everything else.Chitranjan NamaChitranjan Nama trained in painting and has worked actively in theatre for ten years. He has been a founding member\, actor and director of Community Theatre Tonk since it be gan in 2016\, and he now serves as its President. Throughout this journey\ , his experiments with live music in theatre have helped give the art form a living presence in Tonk. In The Death of Galileo\, he plays Balbir\, a young man who dreams of destroying a museum and\, with it\, the memory of human civilisation. He also plays a Roman Monk who challenges Galileo’s discoveries to protect the religious order and its boundaries. For him\, t he play raises a key question. When power or ideology stands against knowl edge\, science and the freedom to question\, what should an artist and a h uman being do?Photo Credits: Arvind JodhaAbout the FestivalPLAYINTERPLAY i s a theatre festival with a difference.

We will learn from them if writing science fiction for th e theatre poses unique challenges. They will reference their own plays to demonstrate that science fiction is not a form of free-floating fantasy\; it can\, for instance\, address moral dilemmas and ask searching questions about the political tendencies of our times.Script Reading:Juno 77By Abhi shek MajumdarIn Juno 77\, a woman disappears during a space mission. Her p artner’s search takes him far beyond Earth\, where time unsettles everyt hing they believed they knew about love\, duty\, and family. When their pa ths cross again\, each has lived differently and in different references o f time since the separation. How should they now understand their obligati ons to one another?Against this story\, Juno 77 asks questions at the hear t of moral philosophy. Does an intention matter more than its consequences ? Can someone be held to a promise in circumstances no one could have imag ined? What does it mean to forgive a person whose absence has shaped your entire life?The play also considers how religion helps us live with such q uestions. Faith offers ways to think about time\, sacrifice\, suffering an d the possibility of reunion. Yet those ideas can mean different things to people who have endured the same loss differently. Bringing space science into conversation with religious thought\, Juno 77 asks how we make moral choices when our shared understanding of a life has come apart. It seeks to examine the question of whether our loves and losses are meaningful or mere coincidence.Written and directed by Abhishek Majumdar\, the play will be produced by Nalanda Arts Studio in Kannada and Hindustani versions.The Archive on the Wall By Meghna Roy ChoudhuryThe Archive on the Wall is a s cience fiction play inspired by holographic principle theory that explores memory\, scientific thought\, and political erasure\, set inside a crumbl ing flat in contemporary Mumbai.After her mother’s death\, Aparna\, a ph ysicist turned archivist\, returns to her childhood home to sort through h er belongings. While scanning the old walls for data\, she discovers that one wall retains more than structural history. It reacts. It hums. It reme mbers.As the house approaches demolition\, Aparna uncovers fragments of he r mother’s political past\, her own repressed memories\, and traces of v iolence that were meant to disappear. She must confront what the wall has preserved and what she has chosen to forget.The play asks what remains whe n history is erased\, and whether memory can become an act of resistance.A bout the ParticipantsAbhishek MajumdarAbhishek Majumdar is a writer and di rector\, working across theatre\, novels\, essays\, film and opera.

Initially inspired by three seminal short stories\, Tirichh by Uday Prakash\, Toba Tek Singh by Saadat Hasan Manto\, and Uljh an by Vijaydan Detha\, which are woven into a single theatrical narrative that interrogates unresolved questions of identity\, belonging and justice in today’s world.Set against the backdrop of a society grappling with c itizenship\, identity and social justice\, the performance raises urgent q uestions: What makes a person a citizen? What do we call home when borders both physical and psychological remain in flux? Who is considered sane\, worthy\, beautiful\, or legitimate? Why does society continue to value wom en who appear silent and submissive? Each segment reflects marginalisation through a distinct lens — surreal satire on madness and displacement\, dark allegory on invisibility and class\, and an introspective exploration of gender\, self-worth and systemic injustice.CastACT IMaya: NaginaHusban d and Bhola: AslamACT IICricketer: SaddamFriend and Officer: ShahidMadam O fficer: NaginaACT IIIOora: IsmailCrewDirection: Nagina\, Naghma and Jasmin eSound and Light: Jasmine and NaghmaSet Design: Nagina\, Jasmine and Naghm aStage Crew: Shahid\, Ismail and AabshaarMovement Direction\, Rehearsal an d Production Support: AabshaarProduction Coordinator: Sanyukta and ShoaibA bout the ArtistsSanyukta SahaSanyukta Saha is a theatre pedagogue\, facili tator and community arts leader\, and the Founder and Executive Director o f Aagaaz Theatre Trust\, a community-rooted arts organisation in New Delhi .

The poverty of infrastructure and support fo r the theatre are among the external factors that are adduced for the prec ariousness of artist-led institutions. Internal factors are rarely cited. What if the institution is over-reliant on personal equations and goodwill for its sustenance? Or if its ownership is narrowly concentrated in one o r two charismatic personalities? Or if it is too obsessed with legacy conc erns to avert obsolescence in a swiftly changing environment?This session will investigate what might lie inside any theatre institution that could threaten its stability and hamper its growth. Reflecting on their personal experience of founding and running institutions\, three theatre artists w ill tell us about what worked or did not work about the choices they made. Were discontents allowed to simmer\, tensions swept under the carpet or c hallenges left unaddressed? In hindsight\, do they regret any missteps or wish they had done some things differently?About the Participants Sanyukta SahaSanyukta Saha is a theatre pedagogue\, facilitator and community arts leader\, and the Founder and Executive Director of Aagaaz Theatre Trust\, a community-rooted arts organisation in New Delhi.

This journey has involved much more than conducting sessions — it has been a continuous process of observing\, designing\, planning\, facilitating\, implementing\, documenting and reflecting. Each group and every individual encounter has shaped his understanding of how theatre\, p lay\, imagination\, embodiment\, storytelling and creative expression can create spaces for children to explore themselves\, connect with others and experience agency.The session will share key experiences from this practi ce: the challenges encountered\, the learning that emerged\, the questions that continue to remain\, and the ways in which reflection has influenced subsequent interventions. It will also look towards the future — consid ering how Dramatherapy and Applied Theatre can evolve in working with chil dren and communities\, and the ethical\, creative and contextual sensitivi ties that such practice demands.About the SpeakerVardhan DeshpandeVardhan Deshpande works as a theatre facilitator in schools and colleges.

At the sam e time\, the distinction between the traditional and the modern is not cle arcut. Modern theatre in India has a history that stretches back for over two centuries — long enough to develop its own traditions. Dance forms n ow regarded as ‘classical’ acquired modern practices of teaching\, per formance and patronage in the last century.The theatre artists in this ses sion will speak about their idea of tradition and how they have interacted with it in the plays they have written\, directed or performed. They will also be invited to discuss ethical and political questions that come to t he fore when tradition is brought into contemporary theatre work. Has thei r work been sensitive to the claim that borrowing from inherited forms of expression can constitute a form of cultural theft or disrespects localise d and context-specific creation of value and meaning? How would they negot iate with traditions that have been invented in response to market demands or political pressures? Has their work reconciled with\, or has it offere d a critical perspective on the feudalism\, casteism and gender discrimina tion embedded in many traditional performances and stories?About the Parti cipantsSharanya Ramprakash Sharanya Ramprakash is a Bengaluru-based theatr e-maker.
