A community is made up of people. People are driven by their desires. But when put together, the needs of the collective can change how people view their wants. Each of the shows in this triple-bill examines how being in a group creates more value than that of the parts as they answer the question “What does it mean to be together?”
Featuring:
Improv Lore (India)
Cricket, the sport, is a great unifier and equaliser in India. Improv Lore presents ‘Howzaat!’, an exploration of the cross-sections of society, brought together by cricket. Through approaching the unique situations faced by individual characters, the show brings them together, however fleetingly, by Cricket. And within those moments, problems are discussed, perspectives are shared, and lives are impacted. Based in Bengaluru, Improv Lore is dedicated to fostering creativity through the art of play.
Jacintha & Rik (Finland & Australia)
