Whether it’s various styles of dramas, Marathi audiences have always embraced them and provided encouragement. The traditional and the experimental! Are the stage deity and the stage at odds with each other, or do they represent each other’s new form? This code is unravelled, and through the fascinating journey of ‘पश्चिम रंग पूर्व रूप,’ we have come to realize and enjoy this exquisite art through our medium globally.’’
