Paanch (पाँच)

Five people on stage explore the life.

When friends of mine ask me what the play is about, I don’t know exactly what to answer. But I manage to answer some. I don’t even know if I can call it a play or something else. I was trying to explore with the body to tell the stories of myself and those around me, but I cannot seem to find any words that can complement my piece of work. As a person in many cases I fail to express my feelings in words, I am poor in it. May be that personality of mine has pushed me till here. The month long process has involved constant breaking and making, improvising and devising until the last minute. But this is not the end, in the sense that the work is not complete. We have just begun a new kind of work in Nepali theatre, and it is just the beginning. We will keep working and polishing this form of theatrical expression. The play cannot be explained in a sentence. I am inspired by many stories, aspects of which I have tried to put it in the play in a subtle way. You will see many images that may or may not hit you, but it will lead you to find yourself in different phases of your life and society, which you may or may not have lived. The conflict of a person with the things they want and they don’t want, but they had to live with it.
