Club Desire is a co-production between Arpana and The National Centre for Performing Arts, Mumbai. The play has had an extended run in Mumbai over several years, and has also featured across India at important theatre festivals such as Bharangam, 2015, in New Delhi,  and Repertwahr Theatre Festival in Lucknow. 

Inspired by the French opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, Club Desire is a powerful story of love, passion, and art set in the world of night clubs, dance music, and poetry.  Jayam, a sensitive and erudite poet, encounters Chahat, a feisty, free-spirited singer at Club Desire. Sparks fly, and they are drawn into an unusual and passionate relationship. Cracks begin to appear with the entry of DJ Abeer, a successful producer and performer of electronic dance music. Jayam and Chahat are sucked into a tragic maelstrom of emotions as they struggle to hold on to their relationship, and their art.
