Anwo Theatre Festival at Triveni Kala Sangam

Delhi’s Mandi House circuit adds a new stage this weekend: the first ANWO Theatre Festival runs April 24 to 26 at Triveni Kala Sangam. (upplus.in) Time Out’s April listings place the festival at Triveni Kala Sangam’s amphitheatre, with evening programming scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on all three days. (timeout.com) The Arts New Way Organisation, or ANWO, is presenting the debut edition as a three-day festival of short theatre performances in one of Delhi’s busiest arts precincts. (upplus.in) The lineup published Thursday includes six plays across three evenings, starting with *Brahmarshi Vishwamitra* and *Fati Hui Shaadi Ki Saari* on April 24. (upplus.in) April 25 is set to feature *Fire Place* and Shankar Shesh’s *Fandi*, while April 26 closes the theatre slate with Saadat Hasan Manto’s *Baanjh* and Nirmal Verma’s *Dedh Inch Upar*. (upplus.in) ANWO said the festival is being guided by Kuldeep Vashishtha, Rizwan Raza and Guru Dr. Sapan Acharya, and the final evening is slated to end with a Gujarati folk dance performance choreographed by Beena Bansal. (upplus.in) The venue gives the event instant context in Delhi’s cultural map. Triveni Kala Sangam, founded in 1950 on Tansen Marg in New Delhi, operates galleries, classrooms and both chamber and outdoor performance spaces. (trivenikalasangam.org; wikipedia.org) That matters in late April because Triveni is already running a packed 75th-year calendar of exhibitions, performances, talks and workshops in 2026. The ANWO festival arrives as part of a wider burst of programming at the complex.
