Gillo is performing the following 4 shows for children, in May, this summer in Mumbai:

SUAR CHALA SPACE KO
in Hindi/ for 5-12 years age group
at EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE NCPA, Nariman Point

May 12, Saturday 6.30 pm
KYUN-KYUN LADKI

at EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE NCPA, Nariman Point

May 23, Wednesday, 4 pm & 7 pm
KYUN-KYUN LADKI
in Hindi / for 5-12 years age group
at PRITHVI THEATRE, Juhu

Suar Chala Space Ko is a hilarious play about a smelly pig and his friends who travel to outer space! Then a sudden encounter with aliens lands them in a big mess. The story touches upon friendship, adventure, owning up to your mistakes, taking responsibility and of course the “swine flu”!

Kyun-Kyun Ladki is based on Mahashweta Devi’s well known picture-storybook, Why-Why Girl and celebrates the thrill of ‘WHY?’ It is the story of Moyna and at the same time the story of so many children, all who always ask the question ‘Why?’ Performed through dance, movement and live music, the play shows glimpses of their lives and of their minds.

Gillo would like to offer children from NGOs in Mumbai the opportunity to visit the theatre and watch their plays. They can offer a maximum of 50 seats per show for children from NGOs. The children will also get a chance to interact with the actors after the show.

The NGO shall be charged a token amount of Rs 25 per ticket for children. (Actual price for public is between Rs 200 and Rs 300 per ticket)

Interested NGOs can send Gillo details of which show you are interested in and how many tickets are needed. They will then revert to you with a confirmation on the same.

Please also note that:

  • This is offer is only for Registered NGOs within Mumbai city.
  • Tickets for NGOs will be issued by GILLO. Please do not directly contact the Prithvi or NCPA Office.
  • Allotment of tickets shall be on first come first served basis.
  • The NGO must make its own arrangements to bring the children to the theatre and take them back to their homes.
  • Adults accompanying the children shall need to purchase tickets at full rate.
  • Payment of Rs 25 per child should be made at latest 2 days before the show, or else the discounted seats may be unavailable.
