About the Event

Hailed as the father of modern Indian theatre, Ebrahim Alkazi's legacy is etched in the annals of Indian cultural history. He was a towering figure in the twentieth-century theatrical panorama and a key promoter of the visual arts movement. His life is now meticulously documented in the inaugural full-length account by his daughter. 

 

Step into the heart of a literary and theatrical celebration with the Mumbai launch of the biography. The speakers will unravel the multifaceted influence of Ebrahim Alkazi, transcending the boundaries of both stage and canvas. Their insightful dialogue will delve into his transformative impact on the theatre scene in Bombay and later in Delhi, a journey that significantly elevated the prominence of Hindi theatre on the global stage. 

 

Join us for an unforgettable evening, heightened by the distinguished presence of Filmmaker Shyam Benegal as the chief guest, along with captivating readings from the book by Singer-Composer Sonam Kalra and Director and Actor Rehaan Engineer.
