Fanatika's most recent production: દાખલા તરીકે (Dakhla Tarike)

Dakhla Tarike's first performance on 10 June 2012 at Gujarati Sahitya Parishad
About the play:
Dakhala Tarike is the images, impressions and opinions of the youth today on the theatre in Gujarat at present. A young theatre artist (writer, actor, director) with considerable experience and having worked on national and international projects decides to settle in his home town Ahmedabad to then devote his golden years to the Gujarati theatre scene. His exploration of the current commercial practice and what the audience is accustomed to leads him to start his own workshop. Full of passion, frustration and on continual debate with himself, he discovers the habits and exposure of the youth and tries to break their fantasy of becoming a star in an overnight's time through theatre only to encounter later some problems with his actors, writer and producer who are used to practising conventional slapsticks.

The play is about 1 hour 20 minutes. It is contemporary in its language - Gujarati the way we speak now and contemporary in its treatment: breaking from the unity of time and space, no formal set, minimal properties. A new experiment, with a new subject.

About the team:
This production is created for the participants of our regular workshop on theatre. Except 3 professional actors who are part of our previous batches and are now developing their careers in theatre, TV and films, the rest of the cast is getting their first break as part of their continuous training on stage.
Music is live with only a few extracts recorded, completely original.

Lights are also done by Fanatika workshop participant who is now a student at FTII Pune.
