Aisa Kehte Hain can be best described as a love story comprising a liar, a cop, two runaway circus kids; a guy called Chai; a man resolved on suicide; another willing to help him in return of money; a bunch of pigeons who occasionally feel the need to break into song and dance; and a lonely crow with an identity crisis. At the farthest end of a deserted railway station a young man spins a story for his love. Gradually the story takes on a life of its own and becomes a testimony to the inexplicable moments in life – the odd broken pieces that never quite fit in, but that are nonetheless preserved, in case someday we find the right place for them. But can all these characters truly make a love story? That too, without love? And can such a story have a happy ending? That’s what the play tries to find out. | Sam: Kumud Father: Gopal Kauwa: Sumeet Vichitra Kintu Satya Verma: Narottam Ashish: Shailesh Chhotu: Saurabh Brahmananad: Pavitra Kaya: Sadiya Mother: Shivani/Choiti Brother: Nitin Chai: Manasi Salim: Imran Bunty: Aakash Ishwar: Pawan Light Design: Bijon Mandal Sound: Kulvinder Production: Kshipra & Choiti Backstage: Kshipra & Kunal Musicians: Nitin, Sumeet, Shubhrajyoti & Narottam Songs Written & Composed by: Gopal Choreography: Bijon Mandal Design: Choiti & Manav Production: Soulitude & Himalayan Village Art |
