“The argument took place in front of the academy gate when the academy authorities cancelled our booking without any prior notice. Teerondaz Theatre Lab has planned to publicly display a video that shows a five-hour verbal dispute with the Shilpakala Academy authorities that took place on Wednesday. “The academy requested the theatre group to stage only the play, as the debate was not allowed,” the post read. Later, they as well as police informed our guests and colleagues that the theatre group had cancelled the programme, which is not true. The theatre group was scheduled to stage the play at 6pm on Wednesday.
