It's celebration time for theatre lovers. Close on the heels of a theatre festival that concluded recently, the city is ready with a fresh line up. In its sixth edition, Centrestage: Festival of premiering plays, will present 15 acts that are a mix of languages and styles. The 10-day festival will include plays in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi and Rajasthani along with an exciting line up of plays, the festival will host a six-day workshop, The Chairs — A challenge to Ionesco, by Theodora Skipitares, award-winning interdisciplinary artiste, based in New York. The workshop will turn Eugène Ionesco’s play upside down, creating chairs that are powerful autobiographical performing objects.
