NCPA Mumbai Opens Doors To Live Performances

The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) announces its return from the digital world with a series of offline events, satiating the souls of art lovers residing in Mumbai.

Adhering to all standard safety protocols issued by the Government, including permitting entry of full-vaccinated employees, social distancing and regular temperature checks; the premier cultural institution is back stronger than ever, committed to re-instilling love for music, dance, theatre, film, literature and photography in an offline setting after nearly one-and-a-half years.

Complying with the Government’s rules the NCPA closed its doors physically in March 2021 but opened a brand new chapter in the institution’s legacy. Going fully offline, NCPA persevered and continued to celebrate artists in the virtual world through the screening of its lectures and performances on digital platforms.

With India slowly opening up, NCPA is hitting the gas pedal on its re-opening plans with an array of live shows parked for the coming weeks. Check out what NCPA has lined up for this weekend:

Eka Lagnachi Pudhachi Gosht (Marathi Play)

In hopes of re-igniting the spark in his marriage of two decades, Manya resorts to senseless advice by his cassanova friend, Puru and agrees to have an extra-marital affair in hopes of saving his marriage with his wife, Mani. What follows next is a hilarious tale of awkward events at home and office which Mani can’t seem to escape.
