In city’s new sectors, a new ‘Epicentre’

GURGAON: On November 11, round 1,200 grew to become as much as watch Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher and Rakesh Gupta provide 'Mera Woh Matlab Nahi Tha', the debut match at a venue to the south of Gurgaon, in a space that has designs on changing into the next going down cope with in town.

Conferences and exhibitions are the area of expertise of Orana Conventions, but its fresh exploratory forays into the arts and culture give hope to the numerous who bemoan the lack of one of these house. Though Sector 64 might still be too 'back of past' for some Gurgaonites. "Initially, I'm doing celebrity shows so that people are prepared to come out of the way," shared Aditi Chauhan, AGM (operations), Orana Conventions. "Because there was a vacuum after Epicentre shut down."

The lack of an auditorium here's compensated for by way of a hall spanning 40,000 square ft, which can be partitioned into 3 sections (relying upon the nature of the manufacturing). The hall has 427 retractable seats, with the option of additional seating if a larger target market is predicted. And outdoor, there may be 25,000 square ft of lawns for alfresco concerts and shows.

So, subsequent up, on December 9, is movie and theatre actor Sharman Joshi, who can be presenting 'Raju, Raja, Ram Aur Mein', a comedy by which he performs four characters. This is, incidentally, the primary time that Joshi can be performing on this side of the NCR. And in January 2018, Deepti Naval and Shekhar Suman will provide 'Ek Mulaqaat' (a rendering of the doomed love affair between poets Amrita Pritam and Sahir Ludhianvi). This can be followed, in February, by way of a seek advice from from the multi-talented Lucky Ali.


Chauhan has plans to carry the likes of Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah and Lillete Dubey to Gurgaon. "We're doing our level best to promote art and culture, and trying to be that space so that people don't have to go all the way to Delhi," she says.


"And it's why we're paying out of our own pockets, to get these events." Once established, the Orana workforce is keen to host theatre troupes from Gurgaon and the NCR, on its solution to staging local productions (and setting up musical methods).


A cultural hub is a long time in the making, and Gurgaon might just have to wait some time for its own. But an Orana has a task to play in nourishing culture, regardless that the federal government can not abdicate its responsibilities. Still, anything to overcome that adventure into Delhi.
