Event Description

A middle-aged man covers his mouth and whispers into a cell phone in the middle of a crowded metro. His tone is conspiratorial, punctuated by gentle laughter, and his eyes dance. Clearly, the person on the other end is not his wife. A young couple snuggles together near the compartment doors, and a sari-clad woman longingly looks at them from below her ghunghat. Perhaps this kind of PDA has never been a part of her reality and never will be. A young woman swiftly moves away from a young man who has been ogling her.

The many stories that one witnesses in the Delhi metro – single trajectories, overlapping themes – are the starting point of this script. As the city morphs and grows, traditional laxman rekhas are questioned and a younger generation seems ready, willing, and excited to explore the entire spectrum of sensuality and sexuality. Desire, overt or covert, commitment or the lack of it, gratification of denial, ghosting or stalking – are all a part of our ‘relationship drama’ this evening.

Old norms are challenged, new questions are raised, and boundaries are redefined.
