CallCuta: A unique theatre comes calling on your mobile phone

"To take part, call 98318-80501 from February 26, the opening day for this two-month-long project, called CallCutta.

All you have to do is listen to instructions on the phone and take a trip that begins from Star Theatre and is most likely to end on the terrace of a house. It touches several historical landmarks via many bylanes, back alleys and bustlings streets.

The concept focuses on a one-on-one format, which is a deviation from the convention that hinges on a collective performance on stage."
