It is Lisa's birthday. She unpacks her gift boxes. But what's rattling in the next box? A jolly baby is grinning at her. But the sweet baby turns out to be a little pest. She tries everything to calm down the small wild thing, but the baby does what babies to⏤it screams, pees, poops and still wants to be entertained. But the more Lisa tries, the more goes wrong.

With a seemingly simple manipulation of the body, no words, with objects, Body Rhapsody is a journey from the classical mind to the bodily puppets, in which Hugo ends up turning his body into a great altarpiece where exotic and graceful alien creatures walk. A parade of whimsical personalities who, borrowing a part of the body and having an illusion of possessing a small soul, try to survive in the mystery of metaphor or in the heart a laugh.

Combining the miniature perfection of Creeping Carnival with the joyful creativity of Transfiguro, Carnival of Transfiguro is a wonderful stage show that takes the audience into strange new worlds. In this show things are rarely as them seem: a baking whisk desires cleanliness, a patch of hair becomes a magician, a belly tackles weight lifting and a pair of kitchen brushes fall in love! The performance is a skilful combination of physical theatre and puppetry, from the tiny to the large.

The very man who grows into the woman’s role on stage entertaining the audience is engulfed by a lot of his inner manhood complexities when he walks into life. Vesha tries to capture the transformational crisis of the man who defines the love, desire and sorrow of a woman, through her portrayal on stage and longs for her even after the curtains come down.

It is not just the forests and villages that are swept by the waves of development and globalization, even the cities are caught in the web and have lost their charm and glory. In the mad rush for development, the cultural roots are washed away and this trend is spreading like an epidemic. The people of the city wearing a proud badge of progress, when they turn around and look at the places from where they grew up, are not only surprised but shocked. It is as important to save the cultural traits of a city as it is to save a forest or a village. A group of friends caught in the web of globalization plan to meet at a place where they had spent their childhood and that place is Mavinagudi Colony (Mango Temple Colony). As the name itself suggests, a mango tree is the focal point. And this tree is now on the verge of being destroyed for the development of the area. The friends decide to meet under the tree before it is brought down. Recollecting their childhood memories they spend few hours, reliving those joyous moments. Mavinagudi colony brings back the nostalgic elements of one's life and draws the attention towards the effects of progress and globalization.

"It was nearly impossible to find texts by women playwrights that have been banned, when we looking for censored literature. Is that because women playwrights have enjoyed a greater degree of freedom through history? The answer is one of numbers. There are fewer of us: No need to censor the writing when you can't see it. But the answer also lies in what we understand by censorship, an insidious thing which has many ways of entering us. i am not here is designed as an 8-step guide in how to censor women's writing. Two female performers occupy a boxing ring. with each passing round they perform this relentless guide to you. But in doing so, they are constantly affected by their own performance on stage. with each passing step, they are brutalized; they brutalize each other. What is the cost of dissent, of protest in performance? why is it always important to bear wounds in front of an audience to make them the stories of the marginalized? what is the silence after the protest like? Is it broken, like the two actors who piece together broken words at the end of this ‘show? Or is there meaning to be made and a new language to be formed? the play is about writing as much as it is about silence."

" Credit Titles is a play supposedly about issues in the field of Intellectual Property Rights. More correctly it is a satire on the race for IPR of life forms. Far ahead of its time, the play has a childless couple seeking the surrogate womb of a friend to host the foetus, aided by state-of-art technology supplied by another friend, a medical researcher. The baby is a genius, as wished by the biological parents, and as programmed by the researcher-doctor. The genius offspring is, naturally, also a commercial success! The fight for ownership is set in motion. The play won the award for the best contemporary play script instituted by The Hindu for the first time in 1993. The play was developed by Vijay Padaki from a storyline conceived by a development economist colleague and friend, Vinod Vyasulu. It was the time India’s economy was “opening up”, which meant, among other things, submitting to a global IPR regime. A draft policy document was prepared for developing countries, authored by a certain Arthur Dunkel. It was popularly called the Dunkel Draft, and was the subject of much heated debate at that time. Not surprisingly, not many drawn into the debate had actually read the document. Very few understood what it actually said. The discovery that “dunkel” in German meant “darkness” led to a lively bout of ideation over a couple of beers, and a play was born. "

Meet Aravan. Just another regular boy in search of his father. His only wish is to be part of a story greater than himself, so he can be remembered by someone... anyone. Which should not be difficult, once he discovers that he is the son of Arjuna, the great Pandava warrior. But the mastermind Krishna has other plans for him, and he manipulates Aravan into accepting one of the most unusual tasks in the Mahabharata. Between his acceptance of the task and its fulfillment lies one night. Only. One night that could change everything. One night that could have far reaching consequences. One unforgettable night that could perhaps make Aravan remembered forever. By some. Perhaps. One Night Only is the 63rd Akvarious production. It is a movement and dance based drama, which uses dance forms such as Bharatnatyam, Contemporary, Odissi, and Karagattam, and the martial art form of Kalaripayattu, set to modern and Tamil folk music, to tell this lesser known but fantastic tale from the great Indian epic.
