A non-profit organization of performing artists

Drama

Since its inception, the Pratidhwani Drama Wing has been working on carving out a niche for itself.

Unlike some other performing arts, drama is heavily dependant on language. In order for a team to perform a play and more importantly for an audience to enjoy it, every one involved must understand the language the play is performed in. While on first glance, this may seem like an hindrance, the drama wing sees this dependence as an advantage and a strength

Like our audience, our members are also multi-lingual and from different cultures. This multi-cultural background gives us a unique perspective. Not only does it give us an opportunity to stage plays in different languages from the Indian subcontinent (Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, etc), but it also provides us a platform to experiment with plays based on the experiences of Indians outside India

This one giant melting pot that our world is becoming every day is what we at Pratidhwani drama wing are best positioned to represent and express in our words.
