More information on Kalgitura (from NCPA ON Stage Magazine Sept 2025):
Marathi/Musical Play-
An NCPA Production-
In a village called Parsul in Maharashtra, a unique folk tradition called kalgitura was nurtured for hundreds of years. Intertwining stories from the Puranas and oral traditions, kalgitura artistes would sing to the beats of the tambourine during festivals, fairs, religious ceremonies and to ease the pain and grief of bereaved families in the village. Around the early 1990s, this almost 700-year-old tradition started to fade away. One day, a group of men in the village find relics of the kalgitura tradition and realise that they must reinstate this unique art form. The play depicts the story of the revival of kalgitura. In the April 2023 issue of ON Stage, its writer Datta Patil said, “Kalgitura is a folk art comprising lavanis written in local dialects and is made up of two words ‘kalgi’ (Shakti) and ‘tura’ (Shiva). As with several folk art forms, kalgitura brings pertinent issues to the fore and addresses complex emotions via the medium of entertainment.” Kalgitura is the winning play of the first edition of Darpan, an initiative by the NCPA that shines the spotlight on fresh voices in Marathi drama.
