Aasakta, Pune based Theatre Company is scheduled to perform its play "TU" on Saturday, December 22nd 2007 at the NCPA Experimental Theatre at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
TU is a two-act Marathi play, based on the famous Sufi philosopher-poet Rumi’s verses. The production is being supported by Tata Sons.
TU has received accolades not only at the state level (the Best Play award at the Maharashtra State Competition) but at the national level also, at Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards and at the Bharat Ranga Mahotsav.
Aasakta began the journey as a small conglomerate of college students aspiring to do theatre of their own choice.
Participating in various one-act play competitions was an integral part of this journey and the economics as well. Winning several prizes and re-cycling the prize money to produce new plays built the organization up.
However, talented, young, energetic and dedicated team members have been the core strength of the group. The group has so far had approximately 150 performances of all plays that it has produced on its own.
The stories of the characters in this play "TU" are blended in each other’s stories, as are the past, present and the future in the story. There are no obvious boundaries to the time and space in the play.
Memoirs and thoughts make us travel through the time zones in the story and … the virtual time and space unfolds before us.
