Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 10: Nayika Bhoomika, a dance drama produced by Indrani Mukerjea Enterprise (IME), premiered last evening at the St Andrew’s Auditorium, Bandra, brought together four Rabindranath Tagore texts — Chokher Bali, Chandalika, Kabuliwala and Maan Bhonjon — presented back-to-back as a single continuous performance. The production is scheduled to be staged next at the Little Theatre Group, Mandi House in New Delhi on Jan 18, 2026.
Mukerjea led the cast and performed principal roles, including Binodini in Chokher Bali and Giribala in Maan Bhonjon. The evening was framed around a compact dramaturgy that favoured sustained attention and narrative continuity over breaks or episodic interruption.
“I felt we owed these characters the space they need,” said Indrani Mukerjea. “On stage we aimed to create a listening room, not to explain them away, but to let their contradictions and choices remain visible. That was the responsibility we carried into rehearsal and into performance.”
