We are presenting a theatrical performance -'Giraftari' - an adaptation (Hindi) of Franz Kafka's famous novel – The Trial.

'Giraftari' is an experimental drama that depicts India's current social, administrative, and legal system. The story depicts an ordinary man who feels alienated, alone, and helpless in a modern but scattered society. 

Written and directed by Ms. Rama Pandey, the play fuses dying Indian oral and folk forms. Ms Pandey is a famous author, producer, and director who runs Rama Theatre Natya Vidya (RATNAV), a foundation that aims to promote and preserve India's dying oral and folk traditions.

The play will be performed in Hindi (a description in English will be provided).
