In the grand history of human kind, there is a constant suppression of human creativity in the background of religion and politics. These innate human skills, art and innovations have taken the back seat in the large schemes of power struggle, business, wars and blood path. Even the mid-century Europe is no exception to this. Play unveils the folklore, which might have taken place in Prague (in Present day Czech- Republic) in and around the 15th century. The play showcases the conflicts between religion, power and art of that era. With the inventions of sailing ship and new sea-routes, there was steep rise in the power of the merchants. With churches and regimes already in the long history of power struggle, this added the new dimensions to the political circumstances. In this critical situation of human history, any inventions, theories were seen as a key political gains. So all the power houses are in constant desperation to claim any new innovations. At this situation, an ordinary key-maker, Haanush, invents a new mechanical clock. The story revolve around the struggles, challenges of his and after- effects of this ground-braking innovations. The all-time relevant story of the play, does not limit itself with the political groundings, but also explores emotional and philosophical levels of human nature.

Dr. KY Narayanaswamy’s Pampa Bharatha is an alternate retelling of Pampa’s Vikramarjuna Vijaya (also called Pampa Bharatha). Pampa’s 10th century epic deifies the Vassal king Arikesari as Arjuna of the Mahabharatha; it is a retelling of the Mahabharatha through the eyes of Arjuna. Dr. KYN follows in the footsteps of Pampa, and he revisits Mahabharata through the eyes of the enigmatic Karna. Karna is one of the many grey characters that populate the pages of the epic, and he is a noble hero and villain extraordinaire in the same breath. However, with Dr. KYN, it is not a mere retelling, it is a story that leads to introspection and re-examination of recorded history and mythology. It unifies history, mythology, and contemporary times in a surprisingly coherent manner, while also showing how human nature with its sublimity and baseness never changes.

Dr. Chandrashekhar Kambar's Jokumaraswamy succeeds to identify various manifestations of patriarchy and its impact on the lives of women. In this play, Kambar, an outstanding playwright makes the women characters expose and oppose patriarchal oppression. In Jokumaraswamy, Gowda is the product of the patriarchal society which sustains conceptual framework that maintains structures of domination. He regards women and nature as irrational beings that are present to be dominated and exploited for the needs of man. Patriarchal society sustains false notions about men and keeps them blind to their real side. By the wisdom of ages, Shari and Ningi in Jokumaraswamy examine the weakness and hypocrisy of Gowda and stand testimony to the fact that women are wiser than men. Moreover, they scrutinize the patriarchal systems of domination that oppress women and reveal the false ideologies of patriarchy. Further, these women have strong concern for nature and claim its intrinsic value and inherent worth. By showing the representation of patriarchy in religious practices and the fashioning of gods, Kambar points out its pit-falls and calls for a new religion that acknowledges the contribution of women and by exposing the false centrality of man, Kambar discredits the illusion of superiority. Further, he shows the shortcomings of conceptual structures and places women at the centre of discussion. Thus, this paper tries to fulfill its purpose of feminist study that insists on the need for revolution in the 'social, sexual and economic structures' that exploit women. Jokumaraswamy drama is directed by the theatre legend B.V.Karanth with lilting music of Dr. Chandrashekar Kambar. Continuing the legacy of Benaka, founded by B.V.Karanth, the classic play “Jokumaraswamy” has been staged in Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and all over Karnataka in many festivals performed to packed audience by energetic and enthusiastic Benakites.

September 14, 2001: On the streets of Bangalore, India, a poor Muslim family is stranded. Desperate to reach a relative’s home in a distant suburb, the new immigrants to the city are struggling to find a ride late in the night. Watching them closely is a Hindu couple, both executives of American companies. The liberal and westernized executive couple offer to take the traditional and rural Muslim couple along. The conversation quickly takes an unexpected turn as the two worlds collide. Fueled by a pro and anti-Islamic rhetoric, and warnings about potential terror threats intermittently playing on the radio, the characters fight within their self-imposed confines of prejudice and fear, in their attempts to look beyond the obvious ideological differences, and unravel a common fellowship based on humanity.

"When we reject a single story about a person & realise there's never a single story we regain its true beauty ". Ravana's sister, Shoorpanakha, the brazen and deformed, demonic figure- a character from the epic of Ramayana whom we are accustomed to vilify and dislike.. Society has always ridiculed her. We take her role in Ramayana so lightly, when in fact she is such a crucial character. And then she has been side-lined through the rest of the epic. It is that we all have only heard about a single story of Shoorpanakha.. Coming to any conclusions based on a single story is always dangerous. So, through this play it's an effort to humanise her and make her real to people and not simply justifying her. Hence looking at the Shoorpanakha character through different dimensions. There were people with flaws and that's the beauty of mythology. Every character has shades of grey and they make us think and question. This play is presented in a unique style using different techniques of yakshagana and a tinge of classical forms like Odissi, Bharatanatyam, Koodiyattam, Kalarippayattu

"Most young people see their fathers as being difficult and almost tyrannical, and many parents perceive their kids as being rebellious or as losers. What happens over a weekend in an affluent Delhi household when the patriarch invites all nine members of his three generation family to celebrate his 75th birthday? By turn dramatic and comic, poignant and provocative, this play questions borders and boundaries, acceptance and rejection, roles and expectations, forgiving and forgetting...with a cast from ages 16 to 60. ‘When you can talk about the characters by name afterwards, as if they are people you have actually met, that tells me the play has really mattered’, is how Andrew Keatley, the playwright describes his writing. Trained as an actor, he turned to play-writing recently, with his highly acclaimed ensemble piece The Gathered Leaves and Alligators, in which he explores the kangaroo court of modern media. "

"The production opens with an evocative song that sets the mood and the period, leading us into the story where the young and vulnerable Lucie returns to Paris to be reunited with her father, who has been a prisoner in the Bastille for twenty years. The story jumps forward five years to the courts in England where in a satirical sequence, the hero Charles Darnay is rescued from certain death by his look alike, the dissolute and drunk lawyer Sydney Carton. Both men are drawn to Lucie in the following song and dance sequence set in a pub, while in Paris the poor increasingly organise themselves to lead a revolution against the oppressive rich, epitomized by Charles's uncle, the Marquis. Here in England, Lucie chooses to marry Charles, even though she is well aware of Sydney's love for her. Led by the Defarges, the Revolution breaks out and Charles once again needs to be rescued by Sydney, except that this time he must give up his life. Seven beautiful songs, choreographed dance and action, excellent performances and beautiful period costumes make this production with its cast of 19 a treat for the senses."

His friend Bassanio is desperately in need of money to court Portia, a wealthy heiress who lives in the city of Belmont. Bassanio asks Antonio for a loan in order to travel in style to Portia’s estate.

In Belmont, Portia expresses sadness over the terms of her father’s will, which stipulates that she must marry the man who correctly chooses one of three caskets. None of Portia’s current suitors are to her liking, and she and her lady-in-waiting, Nerissa, fondly remember a visit paid some time before by Bassanio.

“Am I a good actor even though I am fat? “How does being in this body shape me as an actor?” “Did Shakespeare say Hamlet was lean?” In search of answers to these questions, The Big Fat Company plays with Hayavadana and has come up with Head 2 Head, a unique devised theatre performance. By using sections of the iconic Kannada play by Girish Karnad, it interrogates identity and archetypes, and the much-vaunted mind-body (dis)connection. An important question for actors with large bodies who deal with this quandary on a daily basis is: Where does identity lie: head or body? Or both? We also examine the body of politics and politics of the body we encounter during our own work as individuals and as a community. We explore prevailing archetypes in the theatre industry in the guise of actors working on a play, using humor to re-look at the fat body. A third strand of the performance explores the personal experience of being a plus-size body. This strand eschews traditional theatrical devices of narrative, character and dialogue and instead uses a heightened physicality to draw attention to the corporeal form, inviting the audience to directly engage with the bodies on stage. Lastly, as fat actors, the ‘main’ (read meaty) roles generally go to the thin other. Playing the main protagonists in an iconic play has its own thrill!

Remember Remember is a set of plays imagined and written as Urban Folktales. Our city spaces, with its rapidly diminishing attention spans, seem to be devoid of stories. Maybe we don't have the time for stories, maybe we’d notice the stories if someone would convert them into memes for us. Or maybe, we don't believe that cities can hide fairy tales in plain sight. Remember Remember explores what it means to hold on to our urban stories and fairy tales. And sometimes to let them go.
