Mitr:Greetings from LILA!
Click on the image above to watch Four Years of LILA
Though the last four years have been quite seamless for us at the level of experiencing this splendid play, we do not want to overlook the milestones that have propelled us through this time. Apart from running our regular platforms, we have established a strong conceptual partnership with ILF Samanvay, India’s only exclusive annual Indian languages festival that explores the plurality of India through its language matrix. More recently we have launched a new blog, LA, providing a web-space for voices from various fields to express themselves. We are delighted to bring your attention to our most ambitious transformaction project, LILA Terra-Sutra, under which we have begun many futuristic activities.

Our homage to Mahasweta Devi & SH Raza
 |
Mahasweta Devi (1926-2016)
“….it is important that we all make an attempt to tear the curtain of darkness, see the reality that lies beyond and see our own true faces in the process.” |
| SH Raza (1922-2016)
“I want to explore ‘Roopadhyatmik (abstract beauty)’ in my art. It is another spiritual form of abstraction which is beyond the conventional icons…” |
