GURGAON: 'Shh... Kaun?' Well, we actually cannot say a lot for worry of ruining the suspense. But what may also be revealed is that that is the name of the latest manufacturing by way of Gurgaon's much-loved troupe of amateur actors.
The town's widespread 'Moms' Theatre Group' is back, and this time the moms try their hand at what they are calling a "comic thriller".
Here's the synopsis: Five tech-savvy other folks, weary of their lives, are looking to try one thing different. Destiny brings them together and they make a decision to start a hotel in the hills. Much drama, and otherworldly motion, ensues.
The theme of 'Shh... Kaun?' is as burningly relevant as any in 2017 - the farrago of belief techniques that exist in society, which prey on other folks's fears and insecurities. Serious as the subject is, it was once the wish of scriptwriter and director Binod Sharma to keep up a correspondence it to the viewers with out an excess of gravitas.
"I wanted to catch the spirit of our times, but I also wanted to present 'Babaism' to the audience in a comic way," Sharma told TOI.
First, then again, sceptical actors had to be convinced concerning the tale sooner than they authorized the script. For here is a play that delves into the area of the preternatural, and riffs at the irrationality of cults - topics no longer readily or easily embraced.
But as soon as it was once defined that a power, a damaging energy if you'll, performs a task in the universe, actors like Soumya Gulati and Shilpa Jamwal fortuitously took the plunge. "It contributed to team spirit, and allowed us to grow as a team, because we were all happy to seek each other's feedback," stated Geetika Goyal, one of the vital founding contributors of the group. It also helped Jamwal, one of the vital more moderen contributors, to quickly settle in, and feel a part of the "gang".
And the play's message? That it is okay to take your time. "People are constantly seeking something new, and they're looking for shortcuts, to fame and glamour," shared Goyal.
"But there's no hurry, so use your senses, and think before you do something."
Having staged performs for nearly five years, those moms have grow to be more than adept at enjoying male characters. And with its edgy plot, full of twists, turns and cliffhanger moments, 'Shh... Kaun?' gives them some other likelihood to display their acting chops.
