A Glimpse of the Decade!

Inspired by Habib Tanvir and Ashwath Bhatt sir who were prominent playwrights of their times, the founder of the festival, Mr. Bhoopesh Rai had birthed this initiative with a simple belief in the city and himself.

It started out as just a product of passion and dedication towards the art of theatre, keeping the towering intellectualism and deep-dyed culture of Lucknow in mind.

The underlying vision was to bridge the gaps between theatre artists and the starved audience of Lucknow and since the very first play, Repertwahr opened doors for theatre unlike any other. Ticketed performances, contemporary subjects and visual aesthetics, propelled the stagnation of performing arts in the city which acted as a fresh gush of air.

Theatre stalwarts like Saurabh Shukla, Lillete Dubey, Manav Kaul, Salim Arif, Lubna Salim, Soni Razdan and so on, have graced the stages here with their hard-hitting performances.

Repertwahr festival then shifted their focus on supporting independent music too, which was then presented on stage in 2015. Since then, there’ve been musicians from all walks of life, who’ve performed here, risen to instant fame and come back again to bask in the glories of it. Musicians and bands like Namit Das, Mame Khan, When Chai Met Toast, Parvaaz, Indian Ocean have performed here time and again and Lucknow’s warm response has kept them hooked since ages.

Repertwahr also introduced stand-up acts in 2017 which was an instant hit amidst the citizens here, given the immense popularity of comedy shows these days!
