Broken Frames – An Academic Experiment on the Impact of Surrealism

Broken Frames is a collection of two plays staged under Chaaruvaaka Research Center for Surrealistic Dramatics.

Broken Frames is the brainchild of the Bridge Course Workshop conducted by Chaaruvaaka to provide an exposure to a common man to explore an international syllabus closely monitored by the veterans of British and Russian Schools of Theatre.

A team of people who had relatively less ,different or zero exposure of English Theater were trained under Chaaruvaaka Research Center and then as a part of the final grading, they were asked to perform at Shoonya. Broken Frames is an academic attempt wherein the audience will be a part of the play as they grade the performers and the grades given by the audience will be taken into consideration to certify the performances.
