Event Description : Akshara Theatre in association with the K. A. Abbas Centenary Celebrations Committee presents a theatrical event

Directed and adapted for the stage by Jalabala Vaidya from Gandhi’s book , My Experiments With Truth, Truth or Dare… is an innovative theatrical representation of Gandhi’s childhood escapades, encounters and experiments, which formed the character of the man who became a Mahatma. 

His brushes with smoking, eating meat, stealing, telling lies, trying to bully Kasturba, coping with married life as a teenager, his attachment to the stories of Shravan Kumar, Raja Harishchandra and the Ramayana, are brought out with a childlike innocence that belie the profound impact they had on Gandhi’s psyche. The play is mainly in English.

Music, dance, fun and games are interspersed through the more serious issues, along with Gandhi’s favourite songsRaghupati Raghav Raja Ram and Vaishnav Jan. There will be an interactive Q&A session with the audience after the show.

Gopal Sharman has composed and sung original music for the production. Noted Kathak dancer Parul Mishra has choreographed the dance sequences.
