About The Event
Evam Indrajit by Shunya, Ramjas College
Everyone living in any walk of life ends up asking this question at some point of time,
"Why are we doing anything?"Evam Indrajit is as much about the existentialist question as much it is for the youth of our times who fail to recognize the purpose of everything they do. The play is led by a struggling writer who toils to write a play on the lives of ordinary men symbolically named Amal, Vimal and Kamal. For the lack of drama in their humdrum lives, he changes his protagonist to Indrajit who stands outside the dictates of the society.The writers hopes of scripting a tasteful play shatter away when he isnt able to find the end of his play. The protagonist, however, believes that its end is its beginning.
Pagla Ghoda by Aflatoon, Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies
Written in the 70s, Badal Sircars Pagla Ghoda is a milestone in Indian Theatre. It speaks of human values, sense of commitment, pain, agony, ecstasy and turmoil faced by us humans till we lie on the pyre. A brilliantly written play with a very simple premise of four men from different walks of life chatting at the funeral of a young girl. Mystery shrouds her death but when they start to excavate the truth behind her death skeletons from their own cupboards start piling up on them and then the play becomes magically layered transforming into an engrossing modern fable to watch.
