In August, Thespo called on young theatre-makers from across the country, and the globe, to unleash their inner storytellers and embrace the digital world. What we received was a wonderful array of 5-7 minute pieces – some newly written, some adapted – all performed by a solo performer.

Abhishek Saha and Shruti Sridharan watched them all as part of the selection process and shortlisted the most arresting ones.

“I went into the screening process slightly worried about the monotony of sitting and watching storytelling. But to my absolute pleasure, the innovative use of the medium while adding some bits of genius with technology made for an absolutely amazing experience. It was interesting to see a very varied line of performances. From technological extremes to the most basic, heart wrenching tales, each told with complete enthusiasm and passion”, says Abhishek Saha, who has curated the upcoming shows alongside Shruti Sridharan.
