Winner of three META Awards (Mahindra Excellency in Theatre Awards) 2014 in Delhi for best original script, best actress and best innovative sound/music design and also winner of the Secondo festival in Aarau/Switzerland in 2014, C SHARP C BLUNT is an Indo-German collaboration that explores the realms of digital dramaturgy, repetition and user choices to create a new hybrid form of theatre-meets-performance art.

C SHARP C BLUNT

Try the app yourself in a beta test that will have you roaring with laughter as Shilpa charms you with her sparkling personality. Meet Shilpa, an attractive, interactive and user-friendly mobile phone app that has been projected to be the most popular app of 2013. Created using the latest technology, Shilpa will sing for you - in the flesh. She will sing the songs you want to hear with her sugary and husky voice, and shake her hips when you want her to as she dances to your favourite tune. Best of all, she behaves exactly the way women are supposed to behave in the eyes of men; that is, until the next update is released.

Starring singer-actress MD Pallavi in her first ever solo performance, this one woman show is a witty, humorous and satirical interrogation of what it is like being a woman in the entertainment industry today.

C SHARP C BLUNT opened in Jagriti/Bangalore in March 2013 and has been performed in Bangalore (RangaShankara), Mumbai (NCPA Experimental), Berlin (Sophiensaele), Kassel (Dock 4) and Singapore (KalaaUtsavam Indian Theatre Festival). In 2014 it is invited to the International Theatre Festival of Kerala (ITFoK) in Thrissur, the META awards in Delhi and the Secondo Festival in Switzerland.
