Kalagora

From the street surrealism of Mumbai, ‘city of motion’, to London’s East End via Manhattan on Millennium night. Kalagora, the global wanderer, collides with a midget tobacconist, paranoid immigration officers and cross-dressing hedonists, observing the uncanny and grotesque at the start of the 21st century.

Fresh from an acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe, Kalagora is an explosive coming-of-age journey across three continents, splicing theatre, poetry, and video. Written and performed by Siddhartha Bose and featuring music by Bollywood composer Pankaj Awasthi, Kalagora exposes the shock of the megacity.
