Useless Conversations - Binkamache Sanwad
By Kalyani Gadgil
Bhosanka's old Nokia 3202 gets smashed underneath a train and so he wants to buy a new smartphone. But when he swipes his card to get a new one, he suddenly enters an alternate reality where he meets an old, nostalgic college friend Abeka, porn star Loly Loly, rationalist ‘Mopremimadhyam’, right wing enthusiast ‘Oot’, R.K. Laxman’s/ ‘Wednesday’ (film) fame ‘Common man’ meaning ‘Comya’ and the wrestling Anchor. The play talks about the void between the euphoria of Acche Din and the mind-numbing silence inside us. The writer-director pair of Alok Rajwade and Dharmakirti Writer: Dharmakirti Sumant have come up with the perfect balance between the current social state and inner conflicts as individuals.
The dream sequence portrayed in the play also talks about issues of language and originality. When one is faced with a tremendous amount of information with no time to analyse it, new ideas and originality take a backseat. The mind is busy trying to comprehend everything thrown at it. Language becomes decadent, a mere ornament. Dreams are no longer enriching, no longer vital. They have been oppressed by the deluge into become puppets. Bhosanka, like all of us, is plunged in this deluge of information. He asks important but futile questions about the decadence of language, morality and post liberalized India. But his world is a place where nothing is true but everything is trending. Everything contradicts everything and nothing is black and white. The only aspect that looms over the characters, over the dream and over the nation is celebration. Celebration of happiness, celebration of sadness, celebration of pain, celebration of satisfaction. It doesn't matter what's wrong, what's right, what's moral, what's true, what's untrue, the only thing that matters is entertainment.
The play will begin at 7:30pm on the 14th of February, 2015 at Aksharnandan School, Senapati Bapat Road.
