Experience a gripping story of resistance, freedom, and art — where a bold play challenges colonial power and ignites a national awakening.
Set against the backdrop of colonial India in 1876, AMYGO Production’s riveting drama unveils the trial of The National Theatre Company for staging the bold and controversial play ‘Neel Darpan’. Accused of inciting rebellion against the British government, the troupe finds itself at the heart of a fierce battle over artistic freedom and political expression.
Through Neel Darpan's raw and unapologetic portrayal of oppression, the play stirs deep emotions and ignites conversations about colonial exploitation. As the trial unfolds, the stakes rise — not just for the performers, but for the larger discourse it sparks among the people, challenging the very foundations of colonial rule.
Written by Karan Bhanushali and Amatya, and directed by Amatya, this powerful production delves into the intersections of art, politics, and resistance. With poignant storytelling, ‘1876’ captures a pivotal moment in India’s history — where creativity becomes a weapon, and the fight for truth shapes the cultural and political future of a nation.
