The Ghost of the Mountains | MANCH Festival
The residents of Ang, a small village in the Himalayan mountains in Ladakh, wake up one morning to find an unusual visitor in their midst.

Manch Theatre Festival :
Bhasha Centre has spent the last four years building a space for theatre makers—creating opportunities, supporting new work, and strengthening the theatre community.
Best known for The Drama Library, an online home for unpublished Indian plays, and for Manch, Bhasha Centre also runs training programs, commissions new work, and brings theatre makers together in meaningful ways.
Now, after three successful editions of Manch, they are launching something bigger—the very first Manch Theatre Festival. This is a festival that puts the focus on the people who make theatre happen—producers, writers, directors, and performers—celebrating the process as much as the performance.
Taking place in April in Pune and Mumbai, two cities recognized for their love for theatre, the festival will be filled with performances, workshops, lectures, play readings, and conversations. It’s a space to meet, learn, collaborate, and grow—but most of all, to celebrate theatre and the people who keep it alive.
This festival is built by and for the theatre community.
Come be a part of it.
