India, Nov. 18 -- The 13th edition of the performing arts Repertwahr Festival is introducing several new additions to its theatre, music, stand-up comedy, literature, and bazaar sections. This year, the festival will feature residential tents, a sundowner silent disco, workshops, and an authentic cuisine fest. The four-day festival, to be held at Janeshwar Misra Park from December 18, will include main musical performances by singer Anuv Jain, Nikhil Chinapa, and Dr Palash Sen-led band Euphoria. "We have many firsts this time. Luxury tents with a residential experience are our experiment, where we will also organise food and heritage walks. There is a sundown techno stage with live silent disco music with headphones, curated by Nikhil Chinapa. We will have a mega bazaar with 50 stalls featuring artisans from all over the country. Since Lucknow is now a UNESCO Gastronomy City, we have curated famous food delicacies for foodies," said festival founder Bhoopesh Rai. The festival will open at 11 am with the bazaar. "Our Shabd section will start at 2 pm with one hour of curated Fankar with artistes from Lucknow. Thereafter, the celebrities will be on stage for two hours. From 5 pm we will have stand-up comedy. At 6 pm, we will start silent techno and, simultaneously, we will have theatre in two different arenas. Finally, we will have music from 8 pm," said co-founder Priyanka Sarkar. The festival's USP has always been theatre, with which they began their journey back in 2009. "This year we have Pratik Gandhi's solo performance in Mohan Ka Masala, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's book Satya Ke Prayog. There is Manav Kaul's group Jo Dooba So Paar, which is a musical presentation by 18 artistes on Amir Khusro. Lillete Dubey's English play Vodka and No Tonic, written by Shobhas De, features Era Dub-ey and Joy Sengupta. Finally, we have Atul Kumar's new dark humour play Ambaa," added Bhoopesh.
