In the summer of 1930, a nineteen-year-old Indian boy formulated the fundamental equations that govern the ultimate fate of the stars in our Universe. To his surprise, they indicated that certain stars were destined to collapse into nothingness and become those mysterious objects that we now call black holes. The boy’s name was Subramanyan Chandrasekhar, the brilliant Indian-American astrophysicist who won the Nobel Prize in 1983. But Chandra’s extraordinary discovery of collapsing stars was suppressed as soon as it was made. And the person responsible for this was Chandra’s own mentor and guru – Sir Arthur Eddington, Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge University and the foremost astrophysicist of the age. Why did Eddington try to destroy Chandra? For a man renowned for his dispassionate commitment to science, Eddington’s actions have been a long-standing mystery in the annals of science. The play attempts to answer this question through an exploration of the intriguing and complex relationship between two giants of modern astrophysics – Chandra and Eddington. It is a story of ambition, friendship and betrayal set against the back drop of the epoch-making events of the twentieth century – the two world wars, the Indian freedom struggle and above all, the birth of the strange new sciences of relativity and quantum mechanics.

She is going through a tough phase in her personal life and reaches out to her idol seeking counsel. HBR, known for intimately portraying female sensibility and capturing the anguish and soul of a woman’s being agrees to pay her a visit. What starts off as a candid conversation soon becomes an eye opener that pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you question the integrity of HBR. What if Akshatha's idol wants to strip off that revered image of his and yield to the bodily needs? While the events take a dramatic turn, this hard-hitting play delves into the psyche of the famed intellectuals like HBR, leaving you thinking hard and wondering about the masks that people wear. Will those who want to see the others naked, see their ego and lust set aflame when they strip themselves completely naked infront of their own conscience? This punch to the gut of a play makes you contemplate about just that."

‘Nava’ explores the stories of 9 urban transwomen through the 9 rasas. The performers take the stage to explore the Navarasa boxes and through their performance, unbox, expand, challenge and defy fixed notions of what constitutes the Navarasa and who can be its Nayakis. ‘Nava’ interrogates what 'performance' means as the actors have never performed on a theatre stage before, but understand and use performance in diverse ways in their lives. Therefore, when they perform on stage, it has to be on their terms - the stage must expand to accommodate their understanding of performance and not the other way around. Through their telling, they provoke, question, inform, challenge and expand dominant ideas of Haasya, Adhbuta, Bhibatsa, Krodha, Shrungara, Bhaya, Veera, Karuna and Shanta. They bring their bodies, stories and voices which have been deliberately silenced and willfully ignored, to reclaim their rightful place – the centrestage. ‘Nava’ is a devised play, created and performed by Veena, Chandri, Shanti, Prarthana, Purushi, Jyothi, Sandhia, Thara and Swetha from Aravani Art Project and directed by Sharanya Ramprakash. This project is supported by the India Foundation for the Arts, under the Project 560 programme.

Tempest was written by the great playwright William Shakespeare and is believed to be his last play. His inspiration from nature, depiction of its fury, calmness and relating this trait to human turmoil and relationship is truly marvellous.

"Three great religions, Islam - Christianity and Judaism, share the story of Abraham binding and nearly sacrificing his son. Though based on this myth, CHAHETA (The Beloved) is not the story of ‘that’ Abraham and imagines what happened after father and son come down from the mountain. The play explores the psychological scars wrought upon Abraham’s son after surviving his traumatic event. Did Abraham bring his young son to the mountain for the purpose of human sacrifice, as his wife and son believe, or was he simply trying to toughen up his sensitive young son with a father-and-son camping trip, as he claims? Did an angel of God in the form of a brown sheep, actually intervene on the mountain as scriptures dictate? Chaheta’s anachronistic hallucination of family dysfunction walks a fascinating line between inclusivity and alienation. Ultimately, this intense allegorical drama attempts to question the sanity and sanctity of people who claim to talk with God. Via a kind of violent abstraction that sometimes borders on the absurd, it concerns itself as a dark metaphor, and takes us to a place far more insidious than we could’ve bargained for. "

"Eclipses are one amongst creation's multiple natural events. Eclipses have occurred in the past and will continue to occur in the future as well. Similarly eclipses occur in the life of humans as well. After all, humans are a part of nature as well, aren't they? ""Kantu"", one of the best stories authored by the famous writer, Vivek Shanbhag, attempts to simultaneously look at the eclipse involving planetary motions along with the eclipse befalling humans, who are but bundles of harmony and hate. Our team, Samashti, will be staging a play based on this story with the title of the story itself. Based in the 1990s, the play tries to unravel the complexities and confusions on human life along with the creations' natural activities. Along with this, the irony of the ""Everything is for sale"" culture where men are not just ready to sell off their houses, culture and ideologies but also entire villages for money has been ridiculed. The play progresses within the boundaries of light situational humor and holds a mirror to the prominent phenomenons of the 90s vis a vis globalization, liberalization and privatization. According to the innocent inhabitants of Maavinooru, representative of most of the villages in India, theirs is the most ancient and greatest culture, art, rituals, ideologies etc. But if money is offered they are ready to sell all of these without thinking twice to the foreigners who have come to witness the eclipse. ""Kantu"" is a humourous play about the eclipse that is about to set on Maavinooru and the eclipse that has already befallen the people of Maavinooru. Enacted by Samashti, this play is a theatrical presentation of the story ""Kantu"" by the famous storyteller, Vivek Shanbhag. "

"Maat is about the process of creation. While reading the play Yayati, we were struck by the Sutradhara and his role as the creator. Our play revolves around the conversations between the characters in Yayati by Karnad and the ""Creator"", who is none other than the Sutradhara. It begins with a dream, and slowly we delve into the subconsciousness of the characters themselves. The play was derived using the actor's own ideas of their characters, and the need to discuss beyond what was on the pages of the play. We are introduced to Yayati, Chitralekha, Pooru, Swarnalata, Sharmishtha and Devyani as individual characters beyond the confines of the play. In the end however, they are Karnad's characters. The play in in no way trying to showcase Karnad's process, but rather trying to showcase a general possible process that a creator could go through while creating these characters and their lives. "

"Prisoner No 17 and Prisoner No 18 share a prison cell on an unnamed Island. After another day of hard labour and having been forced to run while shackled and then beaten, they return to their cell. They tend each other's wounds, share memories of times at the beach and rehearse for the prisoner-performed concert which is imminent. They are going to perform a scene from an abridged version of Antigone by Sophocles. No. 18 will play Creon and No. 17 will play Antigone. When he sees himself in his costume, No. 17 tries to pull out of playing a female role, fearing he will be humiliated. No. 18 is called to the Jail Superintendent's office. He returns with news that his appeal was successful and his ten-year sentence has been commuted to three years: he will be free in three months. No. 17 is happy for him. As they imagine what leaving prison and returning home will be like, No. 18 begins to unravel. He doubts why he ever made a stand against the regime, why he even exists. Having said it, he experiences a catharsis, and accepts that he must endure. The final scene is their performance of Antigone. After No 18 as-Creon sentences No. 18-as-Antigone to be walled up in a cave for having defied him and done her duty towards her dead brother, No. 17 pulls off Antigone's wig and yells ""Gods of Our Fathers! My Land! My Home! Time waits no longer. I go now to my living death, because I honoured those things to which honour belongs"". The final image is of No. 17 and No. 18, chained together once more, running hard as the siren wails. "

Jason and Medea are married and flee to Corinth. Jason decides to marry the princess of Corinth. Medea gets upset with him because he's destroyed her honour. She kills her own children, the princess of the Corinth and the king of Corinth to get back at Jason. Director's notes: Medea's character effects the people around her. How much you believe her, how much you sympathies with her or how crazy you think she is. The audience can get really involved and everyone has a different opinion about whether they're on Medea's side or against her. It's an interesting dilemma The're is also the chorus - a group of 6 women. They have a really big part in the play as the play gets to break the fourth wall in an interesting way. The chorus is kind of a part of the audience so the audience feel responsible for what's happening on stage.

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.
