DIAF presents "Mind Walking"/ Band Bazi Theatre/U.K at British Council, 17, Kasturba Gandhi Marg > 7:30pm on 8th-10th November 2011
Time : 7:30 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Mind Walking is a co-production with Q Theatre Productions, Mumbai. Tanika Gupta has written plays for the Royal National Theatre, the Young Vic, the Royal Court and Soho theatre.
Mind Walking has been developed with British Council UK-India Connections through Culture programme and was commissioned by BandBazi with the assistance of Arts Council, England.
About the play : Mind Walking explores what happens to a family when the mind of an old, Indian man Bobbie starts to unravel. Bobbie has spent all his adult life in Britain, but in a care home he reverts back to his first language; a language that he spoke as a boy in Bombay in the 1940's.
His family - loving wife, grown- up daughter and teenage grand-son are devastated. How will they manage to communicate with Bobbie? How do they understand Bobbie's life as he enters a world that they have no comprehension of? As secrets and hidden stories tumble out of Bobbie’s mouth, his family start to question the truth about their ancestry and shared history. Mind Walking is an emotional drama exploring notions of home, cultural identity and family bonds.
Brighton based BandBazi (Love Indeed and Breakfast at Audrey’s) combine aerial trapeze with emotionally charged and character driven narratives.
