my play ‘Dev-Sabha'

Dear Friend,

Please bloc your evening from 5.30 to 7 PM to join us for my play ‘Dev-Sabha’ being staged in ICCR auditorium (Ho Chi Minh sarani, opp. American Consulate) on 8th February, 2015. 

DEV SABHA is a satirical take on the state of women in contemporary times. The setting is a Council of Gods who are gathered to decide where to accommodate the souls of those women who have died violent and untimely deaths at the hands of barbarians, and are suffering the mythical ‘Pret-yoni’ (realm of Ghosts) in want of their liberation. It is believed among Hindus that a body which meets a sudden and untimely end (Akaal Mrityu) roams in the ‘Pret-yoni’ (realm of ghosts) until it is liberated through specially prescribed rituals performed by their kith & kins or, till the time it outlives its destined life span on earth. 

In the process, the play 

explores the hypocrisy of society and it's sacrosanct 

​Gods

.

The beauty of DEV SABHA also lies in its execution by around 35 youngsters drawn from various schools and colleges who have responsibly taken to its direction, choreography, lights, sets, music and acting. PUKAAR (a cultural trust) is hosting the play.

Please accept the attached image as a formal invite and carry a print out of the same with you as your entry pass.

We look forward to your support.
