PHIR AAO NAA

Banjara, Mumbai presents PHIR AAO NA. Composed of two short plays by eminent American playwrights:

Nabh Taaron Se Khandit, Pulkit...

Adapted from Harry Kondoleon's "Self Torture & Strenous Exercise": a bizarre dark comedy. A day in the life of two couples who are friends. They are onely souls. Their lives are sterile, self-referential and self-consuming. Mohit is a writer, thus doomed to a life of watching rather than participating. He is the cliche of the literary predator who exploits the women in his life for his work, as subject matter. Chirag lives in a fog of goodness: in his kitchen garden and his domesticity, he attempts to find the fertility and plenty that is missing from his life. Shivi and Dalnaz, the two women are creatively barren, a lack which finds its outlet in their neuroticism.

Hibakusha

Hibakusha -' those who were bombed'. A poignant story of a family, fighting the horrifying memories of a brutal act that not just changed a nation but also the world. Living with the demons of what they have witnessed, a family struggles to leave behind at the past and embrace the future. They have to choose between their loved ones...to fight or to surrender...Indecisiveness continues...Who will triumph at last...life or death? Based on Ernest Ferlita's "Mask of Hiroshima", Hibakusha is a lyrical poetry. Not only does it intensely portray how humans will always create and rebuild, but how love heals all. Sensitively written, Hibakusha is not just a saga of the war victims and stigmatized locals. The play is philosophical journey.
