The hallmark of #Padmashri Awardee Mohammad Ali Baig’s performance is in how he provokes emotion through his act.

I was recently invited by #ShangrilaBLR to witness the premiere of 1857: Turrebaz Khan, produced by Qadir Ali Baig Theatre Foundation and staged at Shangri-La Hotel, Bengaluru.

It was a weekend filled with great buzz for Bangalore’s theatre persons and performing arts lovers. The fictional piece was intertwined with historical facts and the compelling story of a man who was known for his exemplary valour and bravery.

The theatrical artistry was a landmark event for the city, surpassing the expectations of aesthete lovers and ended with a well-deserved and extended standing ovation!
