Synopsis

The veins of every nascent leaf are inescapably hewn from the most distant and far-reaching root of the tree, much like the burgeoning Indian adult. He is born with the collective history of both, his corner of the world and the human race at large. At the same time, he has his own unique journey and individual history. The fabric of his social and personal reality continually shapes his identity. Holding up a persistent and probing mirror to the youth, ‘Numbers in the Dark’ attempts to understand the liaison between the individual, his history, his memories and the socio-political structure of the world he inhabits. Pursuing the genre of Tragic-comedy and devised from improvisations, research and self analysis, seven young actors put together a montage of short stories and monologues through narration, enactment, gesture, dance and multi-media.
