Noted colourist and theatre director Bansi Kaul breathed his last at his residence in Delhi on Saturday morning. Aged 71, Kaul was reportedly ailing for a long time and he was diagnosed with cancer last November.
Who was Bansi Kaul?
Born in 1949 in a Kashmiri Pandit family, Kaul began his career as a director with NSD Repertory Company after graduating from National School of Drama (NSD) in New Delhi in 1973.
Kaul was a part of the faculty of school for many years before forming Rang Vidushak, his own theatre institute in Bhopal in 1984. The new group incorporated folk idioms into its production and evolved a new idiom of clown-theatre, performing in India as well as elsewhere in Hindi, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tamil and Singhalese.
