A poster for the premiere of Chitrangada

Here is the latest version of the poster for the charity gala premiere of Chitrangada in Brussels on Sunday, 23 September. It was designed by Obhi with advice from Debangana Banerjee, who designed the cover of my forthcoming book Tagore Dance. Comments are welcome. Slightly different versions will be provided to anyone hosting a screening of Chitrangada as part of the global premiere.

I mentioned the plan for the premiere in my post ‘Introducing Chitrangada to a global audience‘. Obhi is gradually preparing the live performance of The Story of Gitanjali which will be the first part of the premiere. In his blog post ‘Staging The Story of Gitanjali in Brussels‘, he explains what he has in mind. We are still looking for actors in some languages who could read one of the 13 poems in the show.

We are close to finalising the details of the evening in Brussels, 50% of whose profits will go to the charity Santiniketan Sishutirtha. Once they are settled, I’ll explain how people can buy tickets online. Just to forewarn you, those buying tickets before 1 September will get the cheapest price and there should be a discount for groups of 10 or more.
