AAJ NA CHOREINGE TUJHE
Aaj naa choreinge tujhe!!! (Today, you will not be excused!!!) is a provocative statement to the freshers by the college seniors. This 20 minutes short theatre piece endeavours to review the idea of ragging, furthermore problematising the notion of so-called healthy ragging. From domination on the basis on regionalization to exploitation by pass-outs forms the basis of the polemics this play is erecting. Notwithstanding, the casual approach authorities generally take in dealing with such a grave issue is not only challenged but also mocked at. The central thought of ragging as a process of Introduction is pondered upon with a few questions left unanswered.
Performed at Arts Faculty on July 27, 2009.
ANTIGONE (FULL-LENGTH PRODUCTION)
Jean Anouilh’s play Antigone (1942), inspired by the fifth century BC play by Sophocles, is set in France during Nazi occupation, with Antigone representing the French Resistance and Creon, a collaborator of the Vichy regime. A tale of the confrontation between the Individual and the Establishment, the crux of the play is the lengthy exchange between Creon and Antigone concerning the nature of power, fate and choice.

Based on Nirmal Verma’s translation of Jan Otsenacek’s novel, Romeo, Juliet and Darkness
A lyrical drama of doomed love set in contemporary Pakistan, against the backdrop of the war raging on between American forces and the Taliban soldiery, the play invites its audiences to share the hopes, anxieties and impossible dreams of Chanda and Jugnu. The two are cast in the mould of the reckless and naïve pair of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy; yet here, a world of darkness in the form of real and imagined fears intervenes and tears them apart.
