All art is conversation, they say. Even between art forms, suggests Raell Padamsee. The theatremaker is in the midst of preparations ahead of the showcase of Shakespeare & Alyque Live On tonight at the Pundole Art Gallery in Ballard Estate. The performance marks another step in the revival of the famed Theatre Group Bombay — the 84-year-old Mumbai theatre institution founded by Sultan Padamsee in 1941. “We are exploring different spaces to perform Shakespeare in,” shares Raell. An art gallery is certainly a novel choice for the venue.
