Upcoming MIST Event: 'Ektaraar Daake'
COVID-19 has taken a toll on the health and economic well being of millions of people all across the world...Similarly, it has made a huge adverse impact on all performing arts communities. We, the MIST members would like to take a small step towards supporting few of these communities in West Bengal.
MIST is organizing a 'Virtual' Theater Festival Fundraiser on Nov 7/8, 2020. We will be supporting the Baul community in West Bengal and Natyokormi in Kolkata. Our fundraising goal is $5000 and it will truly take a village to meet our goal. Five teams from all over the USA and two shows from MIST will be part of the two day festival. Further, celebrities like Kaushik Sen, Chandan Sen and Amrita Mukhopadhyay will also perform in the fundraising event.
We seek your help to support this initiative and urge you to donate generously. Any amount you can contribute will make a difference. The donation link is given below. Please reach out to us if you have any question and/or concern! Let’s make this event, a memorable one! Thanks for your help!

What is MIST?
The people we are today, could be a by-product of different characters we loved to assume, while confronting multivariate issues closely related to our intellect and to our vulnerable 'self.' Even then, humanity survived in us, through us.
Introspecting, we will communicate the masks we choose to wear, issues that we confronted or dodged, and spheres of life or stages where it all took place.
Hence, "Masks, Issues and Stages Traversed."
Frequently we experience comforting imperfections, may be, we will never find closures ; yearning...longing...
Are we even allowed to unleash the wild animals, ever?

MIST is a "platform", which has been created to "preserve and disseminate" this art form, and make it relevant to our times and context.
Why MIST?
We WANT to say something!
At times, our languages, gestures, usage of indices, symbols and icons might evoke an archaic smell or even propel futuristic ferver. Again, at times, it might just be a simple slice of our daily 'not-so-exciting' life that we breathe.
