The two-day Prayogshala Fringe Theatre Festival, launched in 2022, features some of the country’s “most diverse, edgy and novel performances”. Ahmedabad-based black box venue Prayogshala organises and hosts the festival. In addition to local and national productions, the inaugural edition included workshops and street theatre shows.
Theatre practitioners such as Ankit Gor, Harshal Vyas, Kabir Thakore and Rajoo Barot led workshops on writing, physical theatre, set design and vachikam respectively. Amateur theatre groups from local colleges such as the Institute of Journalism and Communication and S. M. Patel Institute of Commerce presented ‘Nukkad Natak’ or street plays focused on socio-political subjects.
