Nandikar’s National Theatre Festival is one of the oldest surviving theatre festivals. It started as long back as 1984! The best part is that it’s not just limited to Kolkata groups but showcases theatrical productions from all across India and occasionally, even from other countries like United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
The festival was initially just a part of Nandikar’s silver jubilee, but it became such a huge hit among the theatre enthusiasts that they started doing it annually at Academy of Fine Arts.
If you want to watch productions by leading avant-garde theatre troupes from all over India, keep the second week of December free for National Theatre Festival. Not just plays, you’ll also find exhibitions and workshops connected to the festival as well.
