Mumbai, 27th November 2019: NCPA is all geared up to celebrate its 50th anniversary from 29 November to 1 December 2019 with performing art lovers not just in Mumbai, but across the country through the NCPA ADD ART Festival. NCPA has partnered with Skrap and Cup able to ensure that the multi-genre festival is celebrated responsibly without adding to the landfills.
