Ho Sakta Hai Do Aadmi Do Kursiyaan (Could Be 2 Men, 2 Chairs)
T402010140
Using an ironic juxtaposition of humour with the tragic and the serious, Padatik and Rikh's ho sakta hai do aadmi do kurslyan, uses two chairs and two actors to tell a number of stories. Zooming in on fragments from different individual lives, these apparently unconnected stories are linked by the emotions born of love, loss and absence. The chairs become a mercurial, ever-changing metaphor as the play intersects urban relationships and makes the implicit statement that we are given life to experience compassion not to inflict violence; and that those who do not recognize the fragility of life may succumb to either an inner decay or to a moment of rage which endangers society. The play has had over 50 performances in Kolkata and has received standing ovations at the Mumbai Theatre Festival, Sudarshan Rang Mahotsav, Pune , Lucknow Natya Samaroh and at the Film and Television Institute of India (Pune).
