“Ritu Raag”-A sensitive musical journey (Photo Feature)

Kathmandu: “Ritu Raag”, a play presented by Mandala Theatre Nepal, is a sensitive musical journey. The drama expresses the colors, emotions, and melodies of seasons flowing alongside life through the medium of theatre.

“Ritu Raag” is a vivid attempt to connect with the rhythm of nature through a harmonious blend of visuals, sound, physical expression, and emotion.

The play evokes memories of the seasons that have accompanied us through every phase of life, sometimes in silence, and at other times through familiar sensations. Sometimes it feels like the sweet melody of spring, and at other times, it resounds like the thunder of monsoon—”Ritu Raag” seeks to touch our memories in these ways.
