Saturday, August 02, 2014

7:00pm|THEATRE|CINEPLAY- A new genre of cinema. Prod. An initiative of Chhoti Productions. Screening of Bombay Talkies (Hindi/English/77mins) Dir & Wri. Vickram Kapadia The play depicts the lives of seven people living in Mumbai, all with their own uniquely moving story. It tries to capture the essence of people living in the city through seven characters who have been strung together in a series of monologues. Stories about the ambitions of a child artiste, the escape of a ridiculed wife into art, a single mother’s sacrifice of her life for the sake of her children, child abuse, a TV reporter’s regret of the media’s inability to celebrate positivism rather than sensationalism and negative news, a hilarious take on corruption by a broker and the west beckoning today’s youth are all interwoven. Each character, marked by failure and doubt are clearly self –censored. While they may communicate through candid expression, they subtly allude to greater truths. Tickets at Rs.500, Rs.300 & Rs.200 available at the Programmes Desk. An Old World Culture presentation.

7:00 pm|THEATER|Mouse (Eng/65 mins) Director & Writer Neel Chaudhuri. Prod. The Tadpole Repertory. Mouse is about a play in waiting. A young director readies her actor for the first performance of an idiosyncratic play. In the course of their last minute revisions they struggle between her anxieties and his diffidence, making us wonder why this uncanny duo even came together in the first place. Mouse throws a torch light on the insecurities of the artist – the smallest, weakest artist.

7:00pm|THEATRE|Stand-up Comedy- Aisi Taisi Democracy (Hindi/English/90 mins) By Sanjay Rajoura & Varun Grover. We are a nation of idiosyncrasies and permanent hysteria. Our reaction to a cricketer retiring is more vocal than the science community's was to the discovery of God particle. We are traveling the world but not without our prejudices & theplaas. And in this crazy transition phase, from 3rd world to 2nd, we are the proverbial Gawaachi Gaay (lost cow) of the times. And to make sense of these confusing times where a fairness cream is cheaper than water & Rahul Dravid retired before LK Advani, Sanjay Rajoura & Varun Grover come together with their outrageously irreverent comedy special Aisi Taisi Democracy. Expect pointed barbs at all that is weird, funny, surreal, and downright doped-out in our Bhaarat-varsh. Politically incorrect, full of personal stories of growing up in the pre-and-post liberalization era, and a no-holds-barred look at the idea of India- Rajoura and Grover jam to make you laugh non-stop, just that it'll be an uncomfortable laugh. Tickets at Rs.350, Rs.250 & Rs.100 available at the Programs Desk June.1 onward for IHC members only. Open to all June. 4 onward. An Old World Culture presentation.

'Water, Peace, and War: Confronting Global Water Crisis' Seminar

Report by Santanu Ganguly: With diplomatic, political and economic exchanges over water creating friction among neighboring nations, the global crisis over access to this precious resource is considered to be one of the most contentious issues of our generation. What are the geopolitical implications of water shortage, and how are they connected to equally pressing food and energy challenges in developing economies? Regional and international cooperation is needed to better understand the challenges as well as provide a holistic approach to shaping global water policy. Join our distinguished speakers for a broad-ranging discussion on how we can confront this global challenge. 

This pioneering and authoritative study considers the profound impact of the growing global water crunch on international peace and security as well as possible ways to mitigate the crisis. Water is essential to sustaining life and livelihoods, yet it remains the world's most underappreciated and undervalued resource. One sobering fact is that the retail price of bottled water is already higher than the international spot price of crude oil. But unlike oil, water has no substitute, raising the specter of water becoming the next flashpoint for conflict. The danger is that these water wars could escalate to armed conflict or further limit already stretched food and energy production.

Speakers: 

Brahma Chellaney, Professor of Strategic Studies, Centre for Policy Research

Kanwal Sibal, Former Foreign Secretary of India

Brahma Chellaney is presently a professor of strategic studies at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi. Chellaney is also a trustee of the National Book Trust and an affiliate with the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization, at King’s College London. He has served as a member of the Policy Advisory Group headed by the foreign minister of India. Before that, he was an adviser to India’s National Security Council. As a specialist on international strategic issues, he has held appointments at Harvard University, the Brookings Institution, the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, and the Australian National University. 

Kanwal Sibal joined the Indian Foreign Service in July 1966, eventually serving as India's Foreign Secretary. He was Deputy Chief of Mission in the US, and India's ambassador to Turkey, Egypt, France and Russia. He has been a member of India’s National Security Advisory Board and served as President of the Association of Indian Diplomats. He is Dean, Centre for International Relations and Diplomacy of the Vivekanand Foundation and Editorial Consultant to The Indian Defence Review. He has received the high distinction of Grand Officier of the Ordre du Merite from France.
