Kaumudi explores the intersections of performance, mythology, and human relationships through the story of Satyasheel, an aging and blind theatre actor known for portraying Ekalavya from the Mahabharata. As he prepares for his final performance, he is forced to collaborate with Paritosh, a younger actor set to replace him, with whom he shares a strained and unresolved past. The play draws parallels between their off-stage tensions and mythological narratives of Ekalavya and Abhimanyu, examining themes of sacrifice, legacy, and artistic truth. Influenced by literary and philosophical texts, the production reflects on the nature of theatre itself, questioning whether art reveals truth or constructs illusion.

The Incomprehensible is an English adaptation of the Kannada play Atheetha, examining the blurred boundaries between justice and morality. The production interrogates how legal systems define justice while moral judgment remains shaped by faith, perception, and individual conscience. Through a series of reflective and philosophical moments, the play challenges audiences to reconsider societal norms, personal freedom, and the meaning of being “civilized,” positioning theatre as a space for ethical inquiry and self-reflection.
