Theatre doyen Ebrahim Alkazi remembered through an exhibition
That theatre legend Ebrahim Alkazi was also an artist is a forgotten truth that finally comes to light in an exhibition in the Capital.
Around two years ago, when theatreperson Amal Allana found a portfolio of her father, theatre legend Ebrahim Alkazi in an old trunk, she was ecstatic. She had heard him talk about exhibiting these paintings in the late 1940s in London, and Mumbai in the ’50s. “I did not even know that these works were still around,” she says, sifting through the numerous mixed media compositions that include a self portrait from the 1940s, and Soliloquy in pen and ink, where Alkazi turns to Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
