JOIN USKriyative theatre, a city-based bilingual theatre group is back with yet another creative and experimental play.
'Where the Shadow Ends', an English play, will be staged on June 3. It tickles one into thinking through its unique plot..
Directed and designed by Veena Basavarajaiah, the play has seasoned actor Lakshmi Chandrashekar, dancer Preethi Bharadwaj, Serbian performer Kristian Al-droubi and actor-cum-lighting designer Vinay Chandra.
The play presents a contemporary interpretation of an epic, which is common across cultures by blending varied performing arts such as music, storytelling, rhythm, choreography, poetry among others.
Veena, also a contemporary choreographer, said, “The play travels seamlessly through myths, history and modern realities exploring the space between realities and shadows of the past. This is the first time, the play is being premiered in the city and the country. Based on the response from the audience, more shows would be arranged. This is a dream come true project as I got to work with a talented bunch of people.”
Scripted by Shreekanth Rao, the play revolves around complex concepts that may not be easily understandable by children below the age of 12, Veena, who makes her debut as a director with this play, added.
Lakshmi Chandreskhar said, “I am excited to be part of the play. The concept was developed six months back and we have been developing it as we were rehearsing. It has evolved beautifully.”
The team is keen to take the play across the country and worldwide. They are planning to travel to Serbia and stage the play there as well. Kriyative Theatre Trust, founded by Lakshmi Chandrashekhar, has rendered more than 500 performances in the country and given more than 50 performances abroad.
The one hour and 15 minute-long play will be staged at Ranga Shankara, JP Nagar First Phase at 7.30 pm and each ticket is priced at Rs 200.
