The Name Project – Pandemic Edition

After two heart touching, honest and incredibly moving editions of The Name Project centred around Family and Women respectively, at our physical space, we reached out to Zui of Theatre Lab (Youth) to bring this wonderful format of interactive performance to the Digital Realm
.
We were lucky, as a team, to be the first group to attend the digital version of the project and so we are thrilled beyond a doubt to invite you all to attend the first Pandemic Edition of The Name Project.

An intimate, Interactive – Performative Theatre series.
Open to only 10 participants per session.

The NAME Project is a documentary theatre series designed and directed by Zui Kumar-Reddy. It is designed as an aggregator of the very first marking we are assigned – Our Names.

The Name Project – Pandemic Edition, aims to look at our identities, through the lens of our name and it’s relationship with the natural world.
•If your name were a sound, where would it fit amongst the sounds of the first monsoon rain? Amongst the chattering of the parakeets before sunset? If your name was a texture would it be found amongst the wet earth or the waxy surface of fresh mango leaves?•

Date : 17th and 31st May
12pm & 4pm
INR 150
