GHASIRAM KOTWAL

audition for dancers

written by Vijay Tendulkar and directed by Harish Agastya
(in Hindi and Marathi, with supertitles in English)
Set in the times of Nana Phadnavis (1741–1800), घासीराम कोतवाल (Ghasiram Kotwal) is political satire written as historical drama. Arriving in Pune from northern India, Ghasiram rises to great prominence through deceit, trickery and violence until his inevitable fall. Naatak’s grand production features live music and dance, and a style of presentation not seen in previous presentations of the play.

(If you are a male dancer with experience in the above dance forms, please reach out to harish-at-naatak-dot-org.)
