This weekend, 18 actors of Hyderabad’s Nishumbita theatre group will play a total of 182 characters in 90 minutes to narrate the origin of Golconda kingdom and other stories associated with it.
The presentation, titled Golakonda, will incorporate puppetry, Telangana’s traditional art forms such as burra katha, dappu dance and Perini with Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam.
Nishumbita’s founder-director Rammohan Holagundi says the theatrical production combines dance ballet and docudrama.
