K-Pax English Comedy Play Presented by Tahatto



K-Pax, English Comedy Play, Presented by Tahatto at Jagriti Theatre, Bengaluru



18th to 20th March 2016 at Jagriti Theatre


K-Pax, based on the novel ‘On a beam of light’, is a science-fiction psychological drama that explores human acceptance and how rigidly we hold on to our notions – scientific, moral and spiritual, without allowing space to question those very beliefs. The story is set in a mental institution whose newest patient claims to be an alien from the planet K-Pax. Although the initial prognosis is that he may be living with schizophrenia and multiple-personality syndrome, the story teases without taking a clear stance, nudging the viewer to make for herself/himself if the patient is indeed an alien. Or not. More than being about the possibility of intelligent alien life, the play explores the meaning of believing – in empathy, in acceptance and beyond all, in magic.

PLAY - I LOVE YOU, LET'S HAVE SEX

 

I LOVE YOU, LET’S HAVE SEX is an entertaining, quirky and fun play that offers some real insights into relationships. Using an innovative and interactive format, the script follows the lives of ‘Nidhi’ and ‘Vishal’ over what could be the period of one exciting evening or a number of years, while they struggle to make sense of themselves and each other. Keeping their sense of humour alive through thick and thin, the couple are determined to reach a ‘happy ending’, even if that means breaking the ‘fourth wall’ to get the help they need!

The play opened at the Delhi Contemporary Arts Festival to hugely positive response and has since then played across the country at venues as diverse as various independent performing spaces, at bars and pubs, as part of a therapist’s workshop session, at a conference, a community centre and even on invitation to a wedding celebration party!

Recognizing the universality of the content, the actors find ways in which to interact with the audience directly – leading to improvised audience involvement, some real ‘aha’ moments and more than a little madness!

The play offers insights into how relationships work and changes we can make as individuals to help find connection and empathy with each other.
