Who was the person behind the persona? What anxieties, worries, loneliness lay behind the Gurudev phenomenon? This was a man who suffered profound losses in his personal love life. How were the women he loved reflected in his work? Did he paint Mrinalini, or was she the wife writing to him in ‘The Wife’s Letter’? This performance explores the person behind the Nobel prize-winning celebrity, who, in his own words, “felt like a land where a mine had been discovered and all attention turned to the mine and no longer was the land seen or experienced.”
