God's Lioness
An exploration of the complex relationships between the individual, society, and the divine by delving deeper into Draupadi’s experience.
The characters of this play are metaphors for larger existential forces. Draupadi represents womanhood, Kunti embodies society, Krishna stands for God or the universe, and the Pandavas, along with Karna, symbolize the male experience. This central tension – the woman’s confrontation with the traditions of society, the men around her, and eventually with the divine – drives the narrative.
God’s Lioness is a play rich in Metaphor, Puppetry, and Masks manifested through Chau and Kathakali. Experience a new Theatrical Form which is not merely a retelling of the Mahabharat; it is a reinterpretation that merges traditional Indian theatrical forms with contemporary storytelling.
Ultimately, this play invites the audience to confront the question : In a world where the forces of fate, society, and the divine seem so much larger than us, what choice do we have? The answer, we believe, is that we must choose, like Draupadi, to define our own existence, to embrace our agency, and to live with the consequences of those choices.

Golden Bazaar
Golden Bazaar is a powerful and emotionally charged play set in the vibrant yet contrasting world of Kolkata. At its heart is the story of Aakash and Vijeta, a young couple deeply in love and excitedly planning their future together, including their dream honeymoon to Mauritius. Aakash works a steady corporate job, while Vijeta, a passionate college student and dedicated member of an NGO, fights for the rights and dignity of women and children living in red-light districts. She believes fiercely in independence, equality, and justice—values she hopes to instill in the youth of India.
However, the relationship takes a shocking turn when Aakash makes a life-altering mistake: a one-night stand with a colleague. Broken but determined to reclaim her sense of agency, Vijeta reluctantly forgives him—but on one condition: she will commit an act of equal betrayal before their marriage. Aakash agrees, thinking it will be symbolic. But fate has different plans.
What begins as a reactionary decision spirals unexpectedly when Vijeta’s path leads her into Sonagachi, one of Asia’s largest and most complex red-light districts—known as the Golden Bazaar. Here, she comes face to face with the very world she has spent years trying to reform. Trapped in circumstances beyond her control, Vijeta must fight not just to escape, but to protect her identity, dignity, and belief in love and justice.
As she struggles to survive inside Sonagachi, the audience is left questioning:
Will Vijeta break free? Will love survive betrayal? Can forgiveness ever restore what trust has destroyed?
Golden Bazaar is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, resilience, and redemption. Through Vijeta’s journey—from lover to fighter, from victim to voice—the play challenges societal norms and celebrates the strength of a woman who refuses to settle, compromise, or surrender.
Prepare to witness a moving and unforgettable story that explores the painful depths of humanity and the triumphant power of hope.
