Dissolving space in Theatre
2.7.2014
Rupesh Tillu’s Theatre Act believes in experimentation and innovation that can challenge the
creator as well as theatre as an art form itself. After the roaring success of his last show at Prithvi
Theatre Tillu is all set to tickle the bone of South Mumbai theatre lovers. An MFA in Physical Comedy from The
National School of Dramatic Arts, Sweden, a bachelor’s degree in commerce and
economics from Mumbai University Tulli rose to fame at the Stockholm Fringe
Festival 2012, followed by a Special Jury Award- Best of Prague Fringe Festival
2013.
Now back to India his home ground, he is here to experiment in theatre
with Shakespeare’s works. The tragedy of Madbeth a story of one man, one throne, one crown, is one
hilariously tragic experience where three
witches meet with Beth and Banquo and together they narrate a story. Inspired
by Shakespeare's classic Macbeth the
play dissolves space between the observer and the performer. The performance is
a combination of slapstick, acrobatics, mime, songs and improvisations. Just 75
minute long the show was a resounding success at NCPA at the end of which Rupesh
said 'When I worked hard, people
wanted me to work harder, now I just play and they pay me.'
