A humble hamlet full of distraught performers - they call themselves chalta firta natak company. Their very creed and ways of survival depends upon their theatre performances. Their identity enmeshed with that of performative ideals and indexes meander into the various tributaries of daily living. But something strange keeps happening every time they perform. Something eerie creeps into the lives of every mortal every time they perform.
The play moves into the plethora of theatre and identity and transcends given thresholds in order to brew the plots.
The villagers navigate through a whole forest of performances only to attain a reflection of lives all too repetitive to be simply performances.
This musical tries to capture exactly what may happen if theatre was solely the reflection of reality- or maybe the extension of reality.
Somehow every performer keeps uttering the words- chhoona mat, chhoona mat, chhoona mat.
A play script devised through improvisations and thereafter documenting the aftermath- creating the narrative itself. A musical, and a play that wholeheartedly tries to avoid self righteousness.
