This weekend, Bandra will witness songs, satire, musical storytelling and drama, all packaged beautifully into a grand show. A kaleidoscopic exploration of queer love, BE-LOVED (theatre, music, queerness and ishq) is an experience that draws from writings across history and literature, and is a reflection of the dynamic and evolving conversations in the queer community.

“The show is an ensemble piece where the cast is a mix of experienced performers along with young, trained theatre practitioners,” says Sapan Saran, director of the show, who spent two and half months perfecting the script. “The script is a coming together of various forms of writings by 19 writers. The pieces are knit together such that they move seamlessly from one piece to the other to tell a single idea using a variety of different performative forms,” she adds.
