Treadmill(Hindi Play)

Treadmill’ A Hindi Play that is a common journey of exploring personal memories of people in towns of India.

Treadmill at its first glance is a comedy in the simplest sense of the world. In its simple manner it looks at the various instances of our lives when we continuously run but without ever getting anywhere. The metaphor of the treadmill looms throughout the play, in its content and in its form , where images, instances , memories repeat but are interpreted afresh by everyone in their own way .The play looks at relationships between a man and his world. These relationships map out a closer glance at all those special moments and relationships that we remember but do not have the time to reflect upon in our day to day lives, in our imaginary treadmills.

Director’s Note:
The Head Start Children’s repertory is an essential part of The HeadStart School, Koramangala.
The members of the repertory, are children aged 7 to 13 and after a fairly long process on various aspects of theatre, the children have devised this adaptation of the classic play by Habib Tanvir’s Naya Theatre.
In our process , some things have changed but more than ever the realization has remainded that what makes this play timeless is its eternal topicality.

The children view the play from their world. Set in contemporary times, here in Karnataka , the play is a satire on our understanding of society. At HeadStart the children go through various levels of theatre training. Starting with 3 month long workshops and then finally moving to the repertory , the children are keen on learning and experimenting with the theatre as an art form on a long term basis.
The Repertory would like to thank the entire staff and faculty at Head Start School, and the entire theatre department.

Most of all , we would like to thank our audience , for being here to give our young thespians an opportunity to share their first steps in to the world of the theatre. These are our first steps towards creating a long term children’s repertory which trains and performs continually, from a young age

"Neenaanaadre Naaneenena" Mind twister @ KHKS

"Neenaanaadre Naaneenena" just what you would want over the weekend.

A comedy which would make you fall of your chair for sure has some of the "Hale Huligalu"(old tigers) of Kannada theater coming together on stage. An extremely difficult thought of double role on stage is handled with supreme confidence in this play and with every performance, the on stage delivery has improved immensely making this a very special play. Every character in the play leaves a mark on the audience with their acts. The dialogues are just good enough to create a laughter riot!!!.

A rib tickling comedy has old film songs and poetry used to its best possible way to relate to the audience. The presence of talented actors and a veteran director makes the play a complete one.

Directed and Created by Surenedranath, this play by Sanket troupe has already done 71 shows and at KHKS they are staging their 72 & 73 shows. Roughly based on Comedy of Errors this play entertains the audiences from the word go till the end. The play also stars Sihi Kahi Chandru, Pa Pa Pandu Jehangir, Kalpana Naganath, Srinath Vasistha, Surabhi, Srivatsa and Manjunath.

Do make yourself available to enjoy this hilarious play at your new favorite venue.
