Event Description

English | 100 Minutes with an interval Turnaround adapted from a short story by Sriram Iyer and directed by Prakash Belawadi premieres at ArtMantram Trust’s Karnataka Kalotsava. Turnaround is a play set in the white-collar corporate world, a mysterious and intrigue-ridden space that is not fully understood. The play traverses the thought processes and actions of a senior and well-intended executive who expects to be dealt with fairly and objectively even if he refuses to suck-up to the most senior leadership of the company. The organisation’s response is as canny as it is funny – and the play shines the spotlight on the orchestrated actions of leaders across the globe to drive to an outcome; underscoring the utterly duplicitous conduct in so-called value(s)-driven large corporates. Turnaround is based on a short story by Sriram Iyer Adapted for the stage, designed and directed by Prakash Belawadi Produced by Centre for Film and Drama Cast: Abhijeet Shetty Naveen Kumar J Keerthi Bhanu Shibani Rao Teju Belawadi Apurv Aniruddh Nikhil Nanaiah Zainab Hameed and Militsa Music – AI Lighting Design – Pradeep Belawadi Production Management – Eneno Ase Media & Entertainment LLP In collaboration with Artistes Sriram Iyer Playwright Until recently, Sriram Iyer was a senior finance professional working in some of the largest corporates in India, US and the Middle East.
