The famous Milan Kundera novel, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, dissects the many meanings of ‘memory’ and ‘forgetting’ in the context of history, politics and life. Taking cues from the book, The Festival of Laughter and Forgetting by Ranga Shankara and Sandbox Collective, also delves into themes of public and private memory through six plays, as well as art installations, talks and workshops. The festival is aimed at holding a mirror to our society. It is a call to find artistic responses to the times that we are living in.
