Tantric Tales: Wrath of the Wraith is a Horror Dramedy, the first of its kind, about three tantrics, Anali, Manja and Suraiya. The play starts with a prologue establishing the wacky relationship of the Trinayanas, a name given to them by their fans, in one of their last exorcisms together. We are now welcomed to the present, years after their split, in a small Goan house where we meet Leena and her rebellious daughter, Farishta. Leena has contacted Anali and Manja because she thinks that they are being haunted. Anali and Manja fail to see a problem. They end up believing that their odd behaviour is in accordance with the loss of Leena’s husband. Anali being thickheaded, fails to move past his ego. By some twist in their fates, Suraiya is called in by Leena to save the day. The meeting of the Trinayanas is awkward at best. The exorcism that follows is a journey of healing for the tormented mother and daughter, as a result of which, the relationship of the Trinayanas also finds some hope.Read More

Kohinoor is not a linear play, operating on four planes, it gives the story of 4 women from different demographics. One thing that remains constant amidst their dissimilarities is that they are all confined in various ways and of course, financially. How they keep trying to change their lives, yet are not able to, is made clearly visible. The play ends, not on a cynical note but by invoking a change of mindset among men, which can prompt stepping back and seeing the bigger picture. The Hindi play justifies a careful sprinkling of regional language to give veracity to the locales and bring out the message further accentuated.Read More

From a bird’s point of view, The Middle Class Gentleman belongs to the present times as much as it did to the French people of the 17th century. Like Charlie Chaplin’s films, Moliere’s plays have the capacity and strength to hold the interests of people of any age, creed and strata. The Bourgeois Gentleman, the original French play, still holds relevance to the likes of the current Indian scenario.Read More

Each piece, reinterpreted by Guru Bijayini Satpathy, pushes the boundaries of conventional explorations of space, music and narrative. While remaining true to the ethos of the form, it is an attempt to show that what is 'traditional' can also be 'contemporary'.Read More
