  • About the Play : Live sound, text, action, song and video come together to draw out, lay bare and reflect on the theme of masculinities and the many ways it lies embedded in our sense of identity, relationships, work and attitudes. Contemporary theatre artist, Maya Krishna Rao has created a series of episodes that have grown out of improvisations with multiplemedia artists Ashim Ghosh and Amitesh Grover. Episodes, some funny, some introspective, some disturbing and some pointing to the often unspoken and unexpressed…
  • Making this show has not been easy. The principal performer is a woman. She has needed to shift her own sense of herself in order to connect with the theme in a way that is enriching. As for the team, it has taken a lot of looking in-talking out-taking in-looking out. There are so many crosscutting strands and currents at work in the way masculinities play out in life. It’s not always tangible, its expression changing continually. And yet they have had to grapple with it, grasp it, start looking at it. Reflectively and purposefully.
  • These short episodes are an attempt to pick up only some of the strands that constitute the larger maze of masculinities.
