Combining Cinema and Theatre

Atta Galatta to screen the Mohan Rakesh classic Aadhe Adhure

QUEEN’S ROAD: If you haven’t been able to watch the play Adhe Adhure, directed by Lillete Dubey, you can catch the CinePlay screening this weekend at Atta Galatta.

This initiative by Subodh Maskara’s Chhoti Production Company combines cinema and theatre to help recreate plays for audiences.

So far, Atta Galatta has screened three plays: Nandita Das and Divya Jagdale’s Between the Lines, Siddarth Kumar’s The Job and Mahesh Dattani’s Dance Like a Man.

“It’s interesting, but people are still trying to figure out whether it’s a play or a film,” says Lakshmi Shankar, co-founder of the bookstore. For the first screening, held at the end of last year, people were expecting Nandita Das to come perform she says.
