Colour Blind beads in a few misshapen pearls from Tagore’s long and winding journey of life. His childhood or what he himself quirkily termed the ‘servocracy’ period, his restless and conflicted youth, his writings and their myriad inspirations, and his controversial and achingly beautiful relationship with Victoria O Campo in the autumn of his life. And with these, his thick-skinned yet faithful companion, Death, who not once left his side. Colour Blind explores the human being who became the legendary ‘Gurudev’ to the rest of the world.

Director Says:
“Colour Blind isn’t an encyclopedic biography but rather a poetic, impulsive and ‘more heart’ play that intends to discover the ordinariness behind the extraordinariness, the emptiness, vulnerability and pain of a human being that became the legendary ‘Gurudev’ to the world.”

The group:
aRANYA was started in 2004 by a group of friends who, in all honesty, wanted nothing more or less than to tell their own stories. Anyone who has a story to tell is welcome into the forest!
