The play ‘Demo’ recreates a virtual meet-up
The Hindu
The online performance depicts marriage rituals and interactions in the digital world with a touch of humour
Corporate executives Abhishek and Manya find each other on shaadipakki.com (a fictional matrimonial website) and meet virtually over a video call. From the initial awkwardness to tense moments from questions about their past — both characters relive memories, and their agreements and disagreements add to the story in the virtual play Demo that will go live on May 22 and 23. “Before an idea is launched, accepted and finalised, people say ‘Aap ek demo le lijiye/demo de dijiye’; that is have a short interaction to facilitate decisions. This short online performance revolves around love, life and modern day corporate struggles with a ribbon of poetry tied over it. Modern-day matrimonials are not far from the interventions of the Internet,” says Ankit Yadav who plays Abhishek.More Related News
