New Delhi [India], January 5: Following the strong audience response to Chitrangada – Ek Sashakt Naari, Indrani Mukerjea is set to continue her engagement with Rabindranath Tagore’s work through Nayika Bhoomika, a new dance drama produced under the banner of Indrani Mukerjea Enterprise (IME). The production will premiere on January 9 at St. Andrew’s Auditorium, Mumbai.
Nayika Bhoomika brings together four of Tagore’s short stories, interpreted through movement and live music. Conceived as a distinct theatrical offering, this production marks the next chapter in IME’s ongoing exploration of Tagore’s literary legacy, following three Mumbai showcases of Chitrangada – Ek Sashakt Naari within a six-month period.
At the centre of the production is Mukerjea, who continues her dual role as performer and producer. Speaking about the project, she said, “Tagore’s women are never symbolic figures. They are thinking, questioning individuals. With Nayika Bhoomika, we wanted to bring together four such voices and allow each story the space to be experienced on its own terms, while still forming a cohesive evening of theatre.”
