About the Event

A Heritage Walk. But as you've probably gathered from the photo, this is no ordinary heritage walk. This is a walk as the great poet and radical thinker Arun Kolatkar would have imagined it, full of the lively and irreverent characters he documented in the beating heart of Kala Ghoda in the 50s.



So come along and meet Ugh, the cocky pi-dog (no prizes for guessing who he is in the picture), who will be taking you around his... ilaaka: the Knesset Eliyahoo Synagogue, theDavid Sassoon Library the University of Mumbai, the old school slums of Kala Ghoda...


You'll meet real and imaginary characters along the way, David Sassoon, the Ogress of Rope Walk Lane, The Professor and a couple of other Modernist poets too, Kamala Das and Nissim Ezekiel. They'll be reciting their poems and letting you into the secret life and history of one of the most intriguing areas of Bombay, Kala Ghoda.


We had a hugely successful premiere at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival earlier this year, and are looking forward to performing again!


But this time we have a few extras: an included breakfast, and a poetry workshop on the 23rd April at Artisans' where we will share with you all the skills you need to write about place and history.


Produced by And The Amazons, a poetry collective.


Starring Vikrant Dhote, Max Woolfson, Anish Vyavahare and Eloise Lisboa.
