Viraj Khanna, Untitled, Embroidery on Cloth

Drawing from the subconscious

In a new solo show, artist Viraj Khanna draws on a collective sum of life experiences, which have entrenched themselves deep within his subconscious. He creates ‘carnivalesque, non-realistic figures’, inspired by his encounters and social interactions, in the exhibition, titled ‘In My Fever Dream’, presented by Gallery Art Exposure. “Khanna realises that an individual’s outward identity is affected by the societal forces around them, often leading to a masking of their true nature. This acute awareness is reflected in his current body of works, which finds form prevalently through textiles, and portrays the colourful complexity of human nature," mentions the curatorial note. ‘In My Fever Dream’ can be viewed between 2-11 December at the Bikaner House, New Delhi, 11 am to 6 pm

Award-winning play, Shikhandi, is all set to be staged again at the National Centre for the Performing Arts. The play, directed by Faezeh Jalali, has been running for more than five years, since it was staged in 2016. “The mythological magic brings back with a comic, tongue-in-cheek retelling of the story of Shikhandi. The play presents a mixture of traditional and contemporary thereby questioning maleness, femaleness, and everything in between in a comical style," mentions a note by the NCPA. Shikhandi will be staged at the Experimental Theatre, NCPA, on 2 December, 7.30 pm
