Nachiket Purnapatre, Sarang Sathaye, Omkar Govardhan & Radhika Apte

 

Synopsis: 

 Garbo is about the class of ‘young people’ living aimlessly with frustration of shattered dreams, the diffusion of mediocrity, and the burden of inhibitions. A play about the generation which breaks out into defiance of living out their own lives with non-conformism for a credo; throwing up in the process a small minority culture, containing within itself its own seeds of destruction.The drama in Garbo grows out of a claustrophobic real-life situation pushed to the limits of endurance, burgeoning into a surreal holy dream that is too unreal and brittle to stand the test

Synopsis:

Charshe Koti Visarbhole (Four Billion Forgetfuls) is a fantasy depicting conditions as they might be in the year 3985 AD. It operates simultaneously on many levels. On the surface it is a science fiction telling us about time when life has become a medium of exchange. On the second level it is a political satire on the all-encompassing nature of ruthless competition and market in the present era of late capitalism. "Capital' acts as a metaphor as the cut-throat rivalry between a big tycoon and a couple of immortal characters from the Indian mythology unfolds in the play. What was written in 1986 has become a part of our day-to-day existence today, making the play extremely relevant and contemporary even after more than two decades. On the third, it tries to deal philosophically with concepts like time, space, immortality etc. And finally touches upon the absurdity of human existence.
