Mr. Bhoopesh Rai and Mrs. Priyanka Sarkar

has been working to promote performing arts in general and theatre in particular, in
the smaller towns in the country, with a special focus on the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Mr. Bhoopesh started his journey as a theatre practitioner in Lucknow in the year
2002. This was the time when people in his circle were moving out of Lucknow for
their respective creative pursuits. He stayed back and worked
tirelessly to give Lucknow the taste of the magic of performing arts.

theatre festival in Lucknow. Over the years, Repertwahr added Music, Stand-Up
Comedy, Literature, Culinary and Artisan celebrations along with Theatre to its
performing arts genre and subsequently came to be known as India's Most Unique
