Embracing the spirit of World Theatre Day, Vomedh delighted audiences with a stirring performance of its short play ‘Kalesh’ as part of its ongoing ‘Terrace Theatre’ initiative. The play unfolded against the picturesque backdrop of a terrace in Bohri, captivating local residents and theatre enthusiasts alike.
Renowned Anchor, Author, and Poet Bindiya Raina Tikoo graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, adding prestige to the celebration of World Theatre Day.
As the audience gathered to witness the compelling narrative, they were treated to a poignant portrayal of family tensions in contemporary society by senior artists King C Bharati, Kamakshya Dogra, and Suman Bhat.
Rohit Bhat, President of Vomedh, extended a warm welcome to the audience, setting the stage for an evening of artistic immersion. Bharti Koul expressed heartfelt gratitude in her vote of thanks, acknowledging the support and enthusiasm of the attendees.
The terrace setting provided an intimate and immersive theatre experience, fostering a sense of community reminiscent of bygone eras. It served as a poignant reminder of the power of live theatre to unite people and provide a respite from the digital distractions of modern life.
It is worth mentioning here that Vomedh has received numerous requests from theatre enthusiasts across different areas to host performances on their terraces, signalling a growing appetite for cultural experiences that foster connection and engagement.

World Theatre Day, observed annually on March 27th, celebrates the cultural significance of theatre and its profound impact on society. It was first initiated by the International Theatre Institute in 1961 to promote awareness of the art form’s value and encourage international collaboration among theatre practitioners. Today, it serves as a platform to honour the rich heritage of theatre and its enduring relevance in an ever-changing world.
