About The Event
Dr. Mahesh Prasad reads a play about the future of humanity.
Set a generation from now, 2063: A Reunion begins with something wonderfully familiar – a school reunion. Friends who once shared classrooms, dreams and ambitions meet again after twenty-five years. But this is no ordinary reunion. The world around them has changed in ways none of them could have imagined, and as the evening unfolds, old friendships, forgotten aspirations and deeply held beliefs are gently, and sometimes painfully, put to the test.
Bringing this extraordinary work to life is Dr. Mahesh Prasad. Revered as one of India's finest educators, he is equally celebrated as a passionate theatre practitioner, actor, director and lifelong advocate of theatre as an essential force in a child's intellectual and emotional development. For decades, he has stood at the unique intersection of education and theatre, believing that both shape not only minds, but human beings.
There could scarcely be a more fitting voice for this play. Accompanied by a live musician whose evocative score flows through memory, silence and emotion, Dr. Prasad leads an immersive theatrical experience where every word is enriched by a lifetime spent nurturing imagination, curiosity and storytelling.
The play has been written by Mrinal Mathur, one of India's most prolific contemporary playwrights, whose acclaimed oeuvre of original plays has travelled across India and overseas, inviting audiences to question history, challenge assumptions and discover their own truths.
Come for the reunion. Leave questioning the future. One evening. One reading. One conversation you'll wish you hadn't missed.
