SARKASH bring together some of India’s best-known performers for eight exhilirating days in Mumbai. The venue is Prithvi Theare in Juhu, India’s premier performance venue. The organisers are Jana Natya Manch, the Delhi-based theatre company best known for their street theatre, set up in 1973 by Safdar Hashmi and others.

SARKASH is a fund-raising festival for Janam, which dreams of building an alternative theatre space in Delhi.

SARKASH also showcases Street : Theatre, an exhibition and sale of vintage photographs from the Archives of Jana Natya Manch. Considered as key collectibles for Indian performance history, these photographs draw from the early days of Janam’s work in the early 1980s which steered and shaped modern street theatre in India.

SARKASH is a composite of sangeet (music), rang (theatre), kala (art) and shabd (word).

SARKASH is the power of art, the audacity of a dream.
