The Indo-French connection
French ambassador Jerome Bonnafont recently hosted a reception at his residence to celebrate the creative synergy between Indian and French theatre.
CELEBRATING THEATRE: French actor-director Astrid Bas directed a play, wherein the cast included Indian artistes. The cast, along with others from the social circle, gathered at the ambassador’s residence to celebrate the success of the play.
Among those present were Mallika Sarabhai, Suhel Seth, Kalyani Chawla and Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna, who’re back from a vacation in Goa. Alka Raghuvanshi, Alka Pande, Nisarg Trivedi, Abhinay Banker, Revanta Sarabhai, Akshay Pathak, Maya Rao, Georges Lavaudant, Patrick Rimoux, Cecile, Kavita and Vinod Nagpal, Sandro Lunin and Alain Willautie were also spotted at the do.
OF THE PEOPLE: Suneet was seen after a long hiatus and when we asked him about it, he said, “I was busy with my plays and theatre. Now, that I’m done with that work, I’ll be partying more often.” Designer duo Rohit and Rahul came dressed in black as usual, and talked about their New Year vacation in Goa. “Of course, we had fun but holidays are also hectic. Now, we’re getting into the creative groove and gearing up for the fashion week.” Theatre artiste Manish came with his wife Zulekha and the couple informed that they are working on a new play. ‘Play’ful times, eh?
FRENCH DIRECTOR, INDIAN ARTISTES: “This is the first time I’ve directed a play with Indian artistes as its characters. Though I don’t understand Hindi, I could emote with the artistes. I understood what scene was on only by looking at the expression of the actors. This gave me a strange kind of confidence,” said Astrid.
PLAY TIME! Mallika Sarabhai said that she liked the coming together of Indo-French theatre artistes and that she quite enjoyed the play. “Doing the play was interesting but slightly difficult, as we couldn’t use our bodies the way we do in dance,” she said.
