A bouquet of three plays to think and entertain

The Hindu  

An ensemble of around 18 actors takes the stage this weekend in Hyderabad to present three plays — Thighs, The Poto, and Tax Free by Canopy Theatre and Storyboard Productions. Directed by Eugien Jos Chirammel, Thighs is his way of seeing the Mahabharatha in a new light and is inspired by Bhasa’s Urubhangam, a Sanskrit play. In the last battle, Krishna reminds Bheema to hit the mace on Duryodhana’s thighs leading to his death.” The director has interlinked these references to create an impressionistic play, a physical theatre performance. The production focusses on a blind club as its members play pranks on each other to entertain, showing us ‘how the blind portray the world and how we don’t see their problems.’ Canopy Theatre and Storyboard Productions present Thighs, The Poto and Tax Free at Rangbhoomi Spaces on November 11 from 6 pm onwards; Tickets ₹300 bookmyshow.com
