The Bewajah Evenings
2018-03-17 18:00 - 2018-03-18 21:00 (Asia/Kolkata)
Another year passed and here we are. Last year we did some things of which, some had made us most proud. We’re bringing you two of our best and hit shows accompanied with a little surprise announcement. Bewajah is coming up with some new plans and ideas for those who wish to join us in this narrative bringing forward a change and development in the fields of art.
On our list, we have an extended version of the play Othello Syndrome. Based on a script by Rohit Verma, this production has seen six successful performances, and now we are adding a little bit more to the narrative, keeping the storyline and the elements of comedy intact in this tale of jealousy, drama, and confusion.
Date: 17th March.
Time: 7 PM
Venue: Bhartendu Natya Academy, Gomti Nagar.
The second one is a personal favourite of the team (though, a good parent isn’t supposed to discriminate, but no one is perfect). The adaptation of the story Kavve Aur Kaala Paani by Nirmal Verma. An hour-long tale of separation and resolution, previously presented under the drama series Stories of Separation. The play is an experimental performance with many new elements for the regular theatre going audience.
Date: 18th March
Time: 5 PM & 7 PM
Venue: Bhartendu Natya Academy, Gomti Nagar.
So, join us on the evenings of 17th & 18th March, to witness two brilliant performances and the grand announcement about your favourite Bewajah routine.

Othello Syndrome (Birthday Special)
2018-01-12 18:30 - 19:30 (Asia/Kolkata) | Bewajah Cafe, 11, 12, Khargapur, Near Sankat mochan Dwar, Gomti Nagar Extension, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, 226030, India
Othello Syndrome is a story of jealousy, confusion, drama and how in the rush of life we lose the meaningful things and fall for the lies around us. The story moves in free flow about the life of a man who falls in love against all odds, gets married and then slowly begins to lose his grip over his life. As suspicion finds a spot in his heart, the narrative takes an unexpected twist.
A special show for the people who want to join us on the birthday celebration of Bewajah’s backbone and muscles, and an amazing actor, Jeevan Singh Rawat. There will be a small party at the end of the show. There is no better gift to an artist than to appreciate his or her work. To meet and greet Jeevan on the special occasion, buy the tickets here.

Yatra
2017-07-06 08:00 - 2017-07-09 17:00 UTC | Kausani, Kausani, Kausani, Uttarakhand, 263639, India
The Bewajah Yatra is a time with friends in the lap of nature, to discuss art, philosophy and life. This time Bewajah Yatra is going to involve the dear Yatris more into the journey than the destination. We’re going back to Uttarakhand because the Land of Gods still holds a few wonders that we are yet to see. The journey will start from the Kathgodam, in the morning, where all of us will assemble and board the traveller. The trip will start from there on and all the while, the participants will be indulged in continuous activities related to literature, theatre and understanding the nature, all of which carry the essence of Bewajah. To understand nature and find solace in its lap, we’re trying to find people who are interested in the small aspects of life and are looking forward to discovering other non-conventional approaches towards living.

Shaap
2017-05-17 19:00 - 21:00 UTC
The idea of Open Up is to insert a lingering interest in a wider perspective and a hunger for beauty and understanding, using theatre as a tool.
To learn, explore and grow through intimacy with theatre. We have also organised various other workshops with kids in different areas of the Lucknow leading to a stage production. These young talents can do wonder once they are allowed to explore.
This time we have handpicked a number of students from Lucknow with the reference from Tabassum Rahman, a schoolteacher at the Amiruddaula Islamia College, and a patron of Bewajah for a long time. These young kids come from a little less privileged background and are not as fortunate as many of us when it comes to portraying our talents in the right place.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring out the talent of these kids and expose them out to the world where they will have an experience of a lifetime. We want the kids to have a good time on the stage while performing.
Our sole purpose is to provide these talented hearts with a platform where they can and will do wonders.
For this noble cause, we require a little support from your end.
You, our dearest audience and members, the patrons of Bewajah. The entire production of the play and the workshop is going to cost us a little more than goodwill. But with the right amount of help and support, we’d be able to carry this out with the best of our efforts.
You can donate to us any specific amount that you wish to contribute to this cause. Just fill the given form below, provide us with your details and we will get in touch with you for the rest.
