Event Description

A crisis in a nameless country brings about a demand for change. A motley group of young people seek to chart out a course for a ‘new country’, a new identity, fresh values, a space to feel safe within ... They argue and fight, they ridicule and educate each other, they reveal their dreams, fears and secrets. Their quest to define a new world is a voyage into some great unknown: to a place they can only imagine and covering a distance they cannot fully conceive. It is also a leap of faith, for them and for us. At the very least, they will arrive to tell the tale.     About Aagaaz Theatre   Aagaaz is an arts based organisation dedicated to creating inclusive learning spaces that nurture curiosity and critical thought while creating safe spaces for dialogue, in an attempt to weave a more equitable urban fabric. Engaging children and young adults across social and geographical boundaries, we relentlessly question ‘what is’ to probe‘what could and should be’ to learn ways to act and perform beyond just the stage. Registered as an independent community arts organisation under the Indian Trusts Act in 2015. Aagaaz performs stories that raise contextual questions and create dialogue amongst diverse audiences. At the core are the 13 adolescents from Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti who are growing into arts practitioners, theatre makers, and facilitators.    About the Director   NEEL CHAUDHURI is a playwright and director based in New Delhi.
