Three days of a unique cultural experience begins today for Kolkatans, who love theatre, music, performance and inclusivity. The Urban Theatre Project, in collaboration with Curl, presents ITEM — a solo performance by Ahon Gooptu, a playwright, screenwriter, actor, teaching artist and performance studies scholar.
This world premiere, happening right in the heart of the City of Joy, brings alive the character of a drag artist, reflecting on her failed career, the people she encountered and the events that shaped her present. With over a decade of experience across India and the US, Gooptu has studied, taught and conducted research on theatre, television, and film, with a special focus on Shakespeare’s works and their adaptations.
Running from December 13-15, this performance is a must-watch if you are in Kolkata. Book your tickets now.
Venue: The Urban Theatre Project, 31/A Kabir Rd, Lake Range, Kalighat, Kolkata 700026
