OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR

Akash Bhora Shoorjo Tara
Bishsho Bhora Praan
Tahari Majhkhaane
Ami peyechhi mor sthaan bishshoye
Tayi jaage amar gaan)

-Rabindranath Tagore

(A universe full of suns, moons and stars;
A world teeming with lives
Amidst all this...
I seem to have a little space of my own
Thus arises my song)

Set in the bustling city of Mumbai, this is a devised visual story with Objects and the actors' bodies to tell the story of a life-journey. A very ordinary life journey; any life's journey because everything that begins must live its life and then end. Through events and non-events, ups and downs, celebrating its moments and bearing its woes, weighing its existence and dispensability, we relive our lives through the journey of a very ordinary object seen and owned by all around us - a car. And in the middle we find a little space of our own; fleeting, almost like a breath...just enough for a life. Taking inspiration from the Vedic Varnashrams and Shakespeare's 'Seven Ages of Man' four objectuers / movement artists laugh and cry and journey in and with a car.

A devised object theatre and movement piece. Non-verbal with a little English and Hindi. Researched by Suraj Tomer and lights by Rahul Rai.
