Yogi vs Bhogi is a free adaptation of the 7th-century play, Bhagavadajjukam (Sanskrit, ‘bhagavat’ - hermit; ‘ajjuka’ - harlot), also known in English as The Ascetic and The Courtesan. One of the oldest surviving plays in Sanskrit literature, it is a fine example of a `prahasana`, or farce. Layered in witty exchanges about dharma, it is centered around the transmigration of souls between the two titular characters leading to confusion and chaos for the supporting characters who have no answer to the absurdity of it all. Through this retelling in English, Mahesh Dattani, plays around with the idea of gender: its expression, perception, spectrum and the exploration of what one truly is with a confrontation of stereotypes using humour and catharsis. Infused with Yakshagana, the play comes alive when the classic Sanskrit text and the physicality of theatre gels seamlessly with the traditional dance theatre form from coastal Karnataka.Read More

Inspired by T. S. Eliot’s groundbreaking poem The Waste Land, this powerful German production brings the text to life through a striking blend of performance, sound, and visual imagery. Written in the aftermath of the First World War, The Waste Land reflects a world that feels unsettled and empty. The poem moves through a series of voices and images that capture this sense of uncertainty, revealing both the disorientation of the time and its emotional undercurrents. At the centre of the performance is a solitary actor who moves through these shifting voices, accompanied by a live, evolving soundscape. Using simple materials like steel and plaster, the stage becomes an active space. Sounds are created live: scraping, striking, resonating, turning the stage into both instrument and environment. As layers are broken open, new images and associations surface, inviting the audience to piece together their own experience of the work. This production offers a distinct interpretation of the poem; through layers, changing perspectives, and moments that allow for personal interpretation.Read More

It is the first post-contemporary play in India, built in tandem with gurus across Thiruvananthapuram & Thrissur, featuring world-class performers like Priya Nambudiri & Karthik Manikandan, led by local actors like Mayura Baweja, Kripa Anne & Sambit Debnath, with industrial art from designers like Rahul K.P. & Abeer Lala, as well as dozens of other artists, including Norman Leslie Doss, Aditi Pandit & Tia Nagaraj.Read More
