August 23, 2011: The Purba Paschim Theatre Festival 2011would be held in Kolkata from today August 23 to August 30, 2011.
This annual Theatre Festivalis being organized with the support of Prabha Khaitan Foundationand dedicated to the 150th Anniversary of Kavi Guru Rabindranath Tagore.
Theater groups from USA, Thailand, Bangladesh and other groups from across India would be be participating in the Festival.
As a part of the festivities, an exhibition was organized yesterday titled Khaled Chowdhury: Tribute & Journeyon August 22nd, 2011, at 5 PM at the Gaganendra Pradarshasalaon the occasion.
I attended the exhibition.
Among those present included Sankha Ghosh, Rudraprasad Sengupta, Bibhas Chakrabarty, Joy Goswami, Mohan Singh, industrialist Partho Ghosh and other prominent personalities from the world of theatre.
I think Kolkata should organise more of these type of events which are annual affairs.
