Mitti Ki Gaadi
Playwright– Shudraka
Director – Sapan Saran
Actors – Abhinandan Gupta, Ananya Ghosh
Producer – Drama School Mumbai & Tamasha Foundation
Date- 4 Aug 7:00 p.m.
Venue- Shriram Lagoo Rang Awakash, Pune
Ticket – https://ticketkhidakee.com/mittikigaadi
Synopsis :
Mitti ki Gaadi (The Little Clay Cart) is an ensemble contemporary theatre piece based on the 3rd century Sanskrit classic Mricchakatika by Shudraka. The musical throws light on various socio-economic and political circumstances in the ancient city Ujjaini, governed by a fascistruler. A city at the brink of an uprising. Tied together by the throbbing love story of Vasantsena, a famous courtesan and Charudutt, an impoverished Brahmin merchant, the play makes a conscious attempt to shift gaze to the common people around these two characters – slaves, gamblers, prostitutes, thieves, the oppressed, the outliers. The play traces the journeys of these small characters as they occupy centre stage and drive their mitti ki gaadi to bring about a mass revolution.
Synopsis :
Asymptomatic is a cocktail of comedy, tragedy, farce, dance, stand up, theatre all rolled into one.
And like a cocktail, it has a particular effect on whoever watches it. Who among us has never faced rejection? Whether for a job, a programme, a relationship…
The piece tells the story of an artist hungry for success, and rebuffed at every turn. What happens to a person who needs to constantly prove themselves, prove their worth?
A solo performance, Asymptomatic is a hard look at the power systems that largely govern who will succeed and who will not, presented with bold – and funny – irreverence.

Synopsis :
“The Folk Akhyan” is currently being misconstrued in the name of Marathi folk music. Many musicians are forgetting the original spirit of our folk traditions, and in the name of creative experimentation, they are presenting folk music to the public in a distorted way. In “The Folk Narrative,” we aim to correct these misrepresentations. Our goal is to present Marathi folk music through a “Musical Concert,” adding a touch of glamour while preserving its authenticity. This is our small effort to restore the true essence of our folk heritage.

Celebrating the women of Thumri, Dadra, Ghazal and other Hindustani semi classical forms, O Gaanewali is an intimate mehfil, baithak style! The audience is taken along a musical journey with some interesting facts, stories and anecdotes about the past.
The team of young musicians from Mumbai, Delhi and Pune are all set to take us into the era of baithaks and to listen to the music which was once known to all….

Thakishi Samvaad
Synopsis :
Thakishi Samvaad represents a groundbreaking moment in Satish Alekar`s literary career, being his first play to grace the pages of publication prior to its stage premiere. Set against the backdrop of a pandemic-induced lockdown, the dark comic narrative unfolds around an elderly protagonist surrounded by Amazon cartons, symbolic of both modern consumerism and the isolating times. In the midst of this contemplative setting, he engages in a profound dialogue about Marathi playwrights and the history of Marathi theatre with Thaki, his devoted accomplice. Together, they navigate the challenges imposed by this pandemic, intricately exploring themes of loneliness, resilience, and the innate human need for connection through the interplay of characters and symbolism.

Synopsis : Every theatrewalla has this passionate worm inside himself to perform onstage, but one initially encounters the world of inglorious Backstage. ‘Backstagewala’ is a narrative that gives us the inner shades of a struggling actor who wants a golden chance to prove himself to satisfy his glorious passion. He tries hard through various means and ways, from struggling to enter a particular Theatre group to get a chance to get a single entry on stage to satisfy his passion.The narrative humorously represents the variety in the types of actors, audiences and critics who altogether develop a full throttle drama. It also hilariously describes the process of a play and various motifs used during its process. Narrative’s humour deliberately points out the various categories of people with different perspectives and ideologies that are present in the field of Theatre and Arts and ‘Backstagewala’ shares such a story of our young protagonist who has come to accomplish his dreams but can’t really make his journey from Backstage to Onstage. But is he still satisfied?

The Light Catcher is an account of a female photographer’s search of feminine beauty all over the world. While it is so, it is also a foray into the world of an artist, where art, its subjects and the surrounding social perspectives collide to produce more shades of grey than the artist herself imagined. As the principle of reflection of light works, the play describes the beauty of how the artist and her work can reflect a wide array of thoughts in a viewers mind. This collision of perspectives forms various shades of grey of which maybe the artist himelf is not much aware of. The play also highlights the various socio-political issues that have an impact in this game of perspectives

‘Raat Ki Raniyaan’ is a story about a group of five friends. It’s about their relationship. Their joy, their sorrow, their ability to empathise with each other and laugh off their bigger problems. They make the biggest hurdles seem like a walk in the park.
Trishla Patel elaborates on the play- “The audiences can expect song, dance, tafri and experiences that we all go through, men and women. The story is gentle, yet it was exciting to write because I have never explored women the way I have in this particular piece. I wrote it one day, just out of the blue, thinking of the friends I have and how much I love them and how they become family. That’s what this play is about… friends who become more than family.”
