Algorithms is a theatrical performance inspired from the life stories of migrant cab drivers that seem to drive a large part of the population in urban cities. The lure and appeal of the app-based economy drive the exodus of semi-skilled workers -from neighbouring towns and conventional jobs- leading to a new way of looking at the future of work in cities. The performance takes a closer peek into the lives of the drivers, who are as controlled by the app as the passengers and allows spectators to encounter this technology-mediated world in fragments and experience the impact that it has on privacy, freedom, choice and the human connection.

Life is about small details than bigger definitions. Love, anticipation, desperation and dreams make life a well garnished experience and these smaller notes are what makes life worth living. The compilation of small stories in Vasudhendra's Mithuna, based on Telugu original by Sriramana is one such garnished experience and gives a sense of life fulfilled with these smaller elements without much pomp and glory of intellectual reasoning. Our effort with this play is a sincere try towards bringing on stage, these elements that make life beautiful, simplistic yet contented. Childhood lurings, teenage attractions, old age love and the memories these experiences leave behind in one's life is what makes the life of a common man. Our effort is to bring up these common yet special elements that make the common man's life an uncommon one.

Tsuuiinnn Tapak, that’s the name of the new AHA! performance for children (4-6yrs). The performance, like a rocket, will transport you into a universe of sound, rhythm, and bursts of magic where language is truly no barrier, as there is none. The performance is non-verbal and yet filled with physical expression and unbound imagination. Through play, the audience will be invited to participate in a series of experiences - ranging from the manic to the calm, from din to silence, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Minimalist in its form, the performance relies on the body of the performer to create an engagement that is both, joyful and thoughtful.

'Beediyolagondu Maneya Maadi', written in Marathi by Cham.Pra. Deshapande, translated by Surendranath S., and Sripathi Manjinabail; directed by Mohit Takalkar, in a satirical and a humorous vein comments on the degenerating nature of religious festivals and disproves traditional dogma in a realistic setting. The occasion is the much celebrated Ganesh Chathurti right in the thick of Pune's middle-class, Maharashtrain-Brahmin dominated locality where the protagonist, Shreepad and his wife Sukanya have come to an agreement that every alternate year the razzmatazz of the Ganesh Chathurti will not disturb the sanctity of their home which in simple terms mean, no celebrating the festival and not even allowing its slightest sound or whiff to penetrate their house. Despite Sukanya's minor complaints all seems to go well until Shreepad's old aunt, her son and daughter-in-law unexpectedly turn up with their infant son with the solitary intent of watching the procession. The aunts voracious desire to witness the procession and Shreepad's staunch refusal to allow her to do so sets the tone of this humorous and remarkably pertinent play. As aunt and nephew take turns to explain each other’s situation with the aunt often scheming with the others to sneakily see the procession, the plot thickens. Shreepad's logical, reflective and philosophical rationalizations are balanced by the more immediate necessity of the situation that is both habit and religion driven. The processions approaching tenacity becomes a barometer for the muted tension that the characters begin to reel under and resonate the fallacious arguments of the brigade. The play also successfully evokes the mores of a middle-class, Kannada household as everybody await the final outcome of the battle of ideologies.

“Nothing like that” produced by Abhishek Iyengar is a play that is best described as a journey with five stops – all in front of the Mirror – where we witness five individuals at their self-critical best. They look at their reflections in the mirror, and all hell breaks out. Their inner critic and society merge in their heads to form a beast that they are, both, afraid of, and fear. How do these five people deal with what they encounter in the mirror?

The play is a dramatic presentation comprising of two solo-performances, based on stories of two people reminiscing about their life and lost relationships. Even though, these characters are placed in different times and locations, their underlying connection is palpable. S&E 1: Performed by Suma Muralidhar, Directed by Manoj Tiwari A contemplative soliloquy on loss, solitude, redemption and survival. What lies beneath her seemingly cheery persona? What pain, what fear, what longing, what memory and what hope simmer, to explode into their own at any given moment? What shadows from her past haunt her present? Will she find her peace? Come, walk with her awhile and be a witness to her journey in this gripping monologue. S&E 2: Performed by Sushil Rattan, Directed by Mitu Tiwari Raphael A monologue placed in a New York pub that affords perspective into betrayal and longing. An eccentric yet discerning man takes you through dark spaces of his memories; as they pounce on you unaware. You may have seen him walking down the street, now hear his story. Join him at his table, wont you? After all, how much space does one man need?

Synopsis A widowed mother and her 18-year-old son, Sita and Sriram, are immigrants in America 12 months old, living in a non-descript apartment building in suburban New Jersey. The third member of the family, husband and father, six months in his grave, still casts a shadow over the survivors. Ben Cohen is a neighbor who has befriended them. At home, Sita and Ben share their life stories. Sita and her husband, Ravi, have lived in India dependent on the charity of relatives. Sita’s husband is a gentle, silent man who did not want a marriage but did not have the energy or strength to say ‘no’. He continues his passive resignation to life into his marriage. Sita comes to realize her husband is her first baby, and she accepts responsibility, as she always has, without complaint. An arranged marriage does not mean, for Sita, a stoic acceptance of the reality. She plots, plans and persists, for the sake of her son. she tells herself, but maybe for her own sake too. She lobbies with her successful brother-in-law in America. 15 years, and a miracle happens. A Green card appears, the result of an act of familial obligation by the brother-in-law for his brother out of pity. She has scrimped and saved for the fare to America. They arrive in California. Her husband is driven to the nearest gas station for an attendant’s job. And to a book-stacking job in a publishing warehouse. and to a Dunkin Donuts early morning shift. Then he is diagnosed with consumption. Tuberculosis had disappeared from America, but Ravi dies. When the play opens, six months later, it is New Jersey across the continent from Los Angeles where Sita landed. Sriram, 18-year-old High School graduate, is headed for his first summer job interview in his life. They need the money for him to go to college; Sita has been cooking and cleaning in the affluent Indian homes to survive. Sriram’s interviewer is Joe Kozanosky, a warehouse supervisor who works in a Sun-less basement and makes up for it by a sunny monologue about everything under the Sun laced with language which would put a sailor – or at least his mother - to shame. Sriram gets the job of Junior Stores Clerk, with the condition that Joe can call him Jack. Ben has had a life far simpler. a journey from heaven to hell. Ben loves and loses. He loses his greatest love, his wife, Ruth, during a miscarriage. The next few years are an alcoholic blur till he wakes up in a filthy cell in a small town with a vision of his wife telling him to live for her. She says there will be heaven again. Since that moment he has been sober and waiting for heaven to return. Then it happens. He sees Sita, and over the months he comes to realize she is the heaven he has been waiting for. He shares his love for her and asks for her to take time and consider. But Sriram, who has seen them together, has visceral objections to his dead dad being replaced by this stranger, however nice he may be. Bargaining for precious gifts from each other, the three talk. The hunger for love meets the search for autonomy resulting in uncertain hope and promises to be fulfilled. The two men wait for the woman to make her choice. For the first time in her life she feels the choice must be hers alone, and not forced upon her by any external force including others’ needs. What choice would she make? Would the men accept her need for autonomy?

Kododilla Bidodilla is an adaptation of the play Can’t Pay-Won’t Pay written by Dario Fo. Through this play, Dario brings into fore the common problems and its difficulties to the middle class and how the establishment can turn a blind eye to all these. In a very funny way, he brings out the issues of price rise, unemployment and many other things through two middle-class families. Can’t Pay, Won’t pay is a revolt in itself by the bourgeoisie class against the establishment. Dario Fo is a Nobel laureate. Fo was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1997. He was popular as a playwright for writing about current issues and for his satire style of narration. He brought out the issues in the society very well through this characters and made sure that people started thinking about this in a very constructive way. Many of his plays have created a movement in itself to showcase the drawbacks of an establishment. This play has been translated and adapted to Kannada by Krishna Hebbale. We chose this play in continuation with the idea of bringing out socially relevant issues.

Dharmaputra is a dark exploration of relationships- man-woman, husband-wife, parent-child. Originally written in Marathi, professor Mahesh Elkunchwar's Dharmaputra takes a morbid look at the sexual life of a couple who vent out their individual frustrations on their adopted young son. The play is a chilling commentary on the ruthlessness that familial relationships are capable of generating. At the same time, it questions the very ethical framework that people take for granted.

"Paul Gomra ka Scooter" [Paul Gomra's scooter] is a work of huge contemporary relevance by the eminent Hindi writer Uday Prakash. The story’s eponymous protagonist is a Hindi poet who works with a Delhi-based newspaper. Paul Gomra was originally born as Ram Gopal Saxena but the cultural space and time rated it as quite a dated and lower class name. With time, our hero fell prey to the waves of socio-political change and ‘Pal’ gave way to Paul. Next was the turn of ‘Ram Go’ which became ‘Gomra’. With this revamped identity, begins his struggle to adapt to the socio-political backdrop of today’s India. With this new and modern tag of ‘Paul Gomra’, our hero takes a big stride and buys himself a scooter. But the dilemma remains as he doesn’t know how to ride it. Thus, he works out a solution and locates a man who would ride it to work with Paul as the co-rider. One night, Paul Gomra delivers a lecture at a high-end literary event where he describes a scooter as a revolutionary medium. He mentions that while Delhi would soon glide into oblivion, the newer Gurgaon is here to persist. On their way back home that night, the scooter meets with a mysterious accident but our man disappears after 72 hours.
